14. The Flair Furniture Company produces inexpensive tables and chairs. The production
process for each is similar in that both require a certain number of hours of carpentry work
and a certain number of labor hours in the painting and varnishing department. Each table
takes 4 hours of carpentry and 2 hours in the painting and varnishing shop. Each chair
requires 3 hours in carpentry and 1 hour in painting and varnishing. During the current
production period, 240 hours of carpentry time are available and 100 hours in painting and
varnishing time are available. Each table sold yields a profit of $70; each chair produced is
sold for a $50 profit. Flair Furniture’s problem is to determine the best possible combination
of tables and chairs to manufacture in order to reach the maximum profit.
Required:
A. Develop a Linear Programing Model.
B. Change the LPP into standard form.
C. Solve the LPP by using;
i. Graphical method
ii. Simplex algorithm method
iii. Identify the unused resources.
15. The Holiday Meal Turkey Ranch is considering buying two different brands of turkey feed
and blending them to provide a good, low-cost diet for its turkeys. Each feed contains, in
varying proportions, some or all of the three nutritional ingredients essential for fattening
turkeys. Each pound of brand 1 purchased, for example, contains 5 ounces of ingredient A, 4
ounces of ingredient B, and 0.5 ounce of ingredient C. Each pound of brand 2 contains 10
ounces of ingredient A, 3 ounces of ingredient B, but no ingredient C. The brand 1 feed costs
the ranch 2 cents a pound, while the brand 2 feed costs 3 cents a pound. The minimum
requirements of Ingredient A, B & C are 90, 48 &1.5 ounces. The owner of the ranch would
like to use LP to determine the lowest-cost diet that meets the minimum monthly intake
requirement for each nutritional ingredient.
