Quiz Linear Programming

The document presents two linear programming problems involving the production of golf bags by Par, Inc. and the formulation of a special diet for laboratory animals. The first problem requires maximizing profit from manufacturing standard and deluxe golf bags within time constraints, while the second problem focuses on minimizing costs for feed mixes that meet specific nutritional requirements. Both problems involve determining optimal quantities of products to achieve specified goals.

QUIZ

Directions: Read and analyze each linear programming problem. Solve the given LP problem applying the
steps by the graphical method.

1. Par, Inc., is a small manufacturer of golf equipment and supplies. Par has been convinced by its
distributor that there is an existing market for both a medium-priced golf bag, referred to as a
standard model, and a high-priced golf bag, referred to as a deluxe model. A careful analysis of
the manufacturing requirements resulted in the following table, which shows the production
time requirements for the four required manufacturing operations and the accounting
department’s estimate of the profit contribution per bag.

Product Production time (hours) Profit


Cutting & Sewing Finishing Inspection & contribution
Dyeing Packaging
Standard 7 1 1 1 10
10 2 10
deluxe 1 5 2 1 9
6 3 4
The director of manufacturing estimates that 630 hours of cutting and dyeing time, 600 hours of
sewing time, 708 hours of finishing time, and 135 hours of inspection and packaging time will be
available for the production of golf bags. If the company wants to maximize total profit
contribution, how many bags of each model should it manufacture?

2. A special diet for laboratory animals is to contain at least 400 units of vitamins, at least 300 units
of minerals and at least 300 units of calories. There are two feed mixes available, Mix A and Mix
B. A gram of Mix A contains 4 units of vitamins, 6 units of minerals, and 2 units of calories. Mix B
contains 5 units of vitamins, 3 units of minerals, and 5 units of calories. Mix A costs P10 per gram
and Mix B costs P15 per gram. How many grams of each mix should be used to satisfy the
requirements of the diet at minimal costs?
