Question 1. A company manufactures two products (A and B) and the profit per unit sold is Rs 3 and Rs 5 respectively. Each product must be assembled on a particular machine, each unit of product A taking 12 minutes of assembly time and each unit of product B 25 minutes of assembly time. The company estimates that the machine used for assembly has an effective working week of only 30 hours (due to maintenance/breakdown).

Technological constraints mean that for every five units of product A produced at least two units of product B must be produced. Formulate the problem of how much of each product to produce as a linear program and find the points of intersection for maximization. The company has been offered the chance to  hire an extra machine, thereby doubling the effective assembly time available. What is the maximum amount you would be prepared to pay (per week) for the hire of this machine and why? (10 Marks)

Question 2. A  firm produces three  products  A,  B,  and  C each  of which  passes  through three different departments fabrication, finishing, packaging.  Each unit of product A requires 3, 4 and 2 hours respectively, B requires 5, 4 and 4 hours respectively and C requires 2, 4  and  5  hours respectively in  3  departments respectively.  Every day 60  hours are available in fabrication department, 72 hours in finishing and 100 hours in packaging department. If unit contribution of unit A is Rs. 5, Rs. 10 for B and Rs. 3 for C. Then determine  number  of  units  of  each  product  so  that  total  contribution  to  cost  is maximized and also determine if any capacity would remain unutilized using simplex method.    (10 Marks)

We would like to determine the revenue maximizing strategy for this company, given that their resources are limited to 100 kgs of wood and 60 kgs of metal. How will much bigger company (like IKEA) determine the appropriate amount of money that should be offered for a unit of each type of resource, such that the offer will be acceptable to the smaller company while minimizing the expenditures of the larger company.
