A company manufactures two styles of toy wagons. The weekly profit (which takes into account all revenues and costs including changing production from one style to the other) is:
P(X1, X2) = -0.01X12 - 0.02X22 - 0.01X1X2 + 30X1 + 50X2
It takes 0.20 hours to make one unit of wagon 1 and 0.25 hours to make a unit of wagon 2.
Suppose the company has 400 man-hours available weekly. What is the optimal product mix and the optimal profit if all 400 hours are to be used weekly?
The detailed solution is given in the pictures below.
Please go through them carefully specially the notations.
Hope the solution helps. Thank you.
