BI348 Chapter08

A computer company plans to sell two laptop models and wants to determine the optimal production quantities to maximize contribution margin. The objective is to calculate the number of units of each laptop (decision variables x and y) that maximize the total contribution margin, subject to constraints on maximum/minimum demand and total cost of goods sold. The optimal solution is to produce 120 units of Laptop 1 and 100 units of Laptop 2, achieving a total contribution margin of $10,400.
