Manufacturing has a division that produces two models of fireplace grates, model A and model B. To produce each model \(\mathrm{A}\) grate requires \(3 \mathrm{lb}\) of cast iron and \(6 \mathrm{~min}\) of labor. To produce each model B grate requires \(4 \mathrm{lb}\) of cast iron and 3 min of labor. The profit for each model A grate is \(\$ 2.00\), and the profit for each model B grate is \(\$ 1.50\). If \(1000 \mathrm{lb}\) of cast iron and 20 labor-hours are available for the production of fireplace grates per day, how many grates of each model should the division produce in order to maximize Kane's profit? What is the optimal profit?
Consider the linear programming problem $$ \begin{array}{rr} \text { Maximize } & P=2 x+7 y \\ \text { subject to } & 2 x+y \geq 8 \\ & x+y \geq 6 \\ x & \geq 0, y \geq 0 \end{array} $$ a. Sketch the feasible set \(S\). b. Find the corner points of \(S\). c. Find the values of \(P\) at the corner points of \(S\) found in part (b). d. Show that the linear programming problem has no (optimal) solution. Does this contradict Theorem 1 ?
Determine graphically the solution set for each system of inequalities and indicate whether the solution set is bounded or unbounded. $$ \begin{array}{r} x+2 y \geq 3 \\ 2 x+4 y \leq-2 \end{array} $$
Solve each linear programming problem by the method of corners. $$ \begin{array}{lr} \text { Maximize } & P=2 x+3 y \\ \text { subject to } & x+y \leq 6 \\ x & \leq 3 \\ x & \geq 0, y \geq 0 \end{array} $$
ADVERTISING As part of a campaign to promote its annual clearance sale, the Excelsior Company decided to buy television advertising time on Station KAOS. Excelsior's advertising budget is \(\$ 102,000\). Morning time costs \(\$ 3000 /\) minute, afternoon time costs \(\$ 1000 /\) minute, and evening (prime) time costs \(\$ 12,000 /\) minute. Because of previous commitments, KAOS cannot offer Excelsior more than 6 min of prime time or more than a total of 25 min of advertising time over the 2 weeks in which the commercials are to be run. KAOS estimates that morning commercials are seen by 200,000 people, afternoon commercials are seen by 100,000 people, and evening com- mercials are seen by 600,000 people. How much morning, afternoon, and evening advertising time should Excelsior buy in order to maximize exposure of its commercials?
