question 51

Essay

Sunseel Industries produces two types of raw materials A and B, with a production cost of $4 and $8 per unit, respectively. The combined production of the raw materials A and B must be at least 700 units per month. At least 400 units of the raw material B and not more than 1200 units of the raw material A must be produced per month. The processing time for the raw material A is observed to be 5 hours and for B, it is found to be 4 hours. A total of 3000 such hours are available per month. How much of each raw material should be produced in order to minimize the cost. Develop a linear program that Sunseel Industries can use to determine how many units of each raw material to produce to minimize the total cost.
