Chapter 2 Assignment questions and answers
1. A jewelry store makes necklaces and bracelets from gold and platinum. The store has 20 ounces of gold, 24 ounces of platinum. Each necklace requires 6 ounces of gold 3 ounces of platinum, whereas each bracelet requires 2 ounces of gold and 5 ounces of platinum. The store has to use a minimum of two ounces of gold. The demand for bracelet is no less than three. A necklace earns $375 in profit and a bracelet, $225. Formulate a linear programming model for this problem with an appropriate objective function
=number of necklaces to be made
= number of bracelets to be made
Maximize Profit (Z)=
Subject to Maximum availability of gold Minimum usage quantity of gold Maximum availability of platinum Minimum bracelet required (Non-negativity constraint)
2. A furniture store makes tables and chairs from plywood and glass. The store has 30 units of plywood, 24 units of glass. Each table requires 7 units of plywood three units of glass, whereas each chair requires three units of plywood and two units of glass. The demand for chairs is between 2 and 4. The ratio between the table and chair is 1 to 2. A table earns $225 in profit and a chair, $145. The store wants to determine the number of tables and chairs to make in order to maximize profit. Formulate a linear programming model for this problems =number of tables to be made
= number of chairs to be made
Maximize Profit (Z)=
Subject to Maximum availability of plywood Maximum availability of glass Minimum chair required Maximum chair required Ratio constraint for table to chair (Non-negativity constraint)
