If you have these 2 constraints:
0.6R+4D £180,000 Machine Hour constraint
3R+5D £150,000 Direct Labor Hour constraint
Required:
a Draw a graph showing the possible production plans for this company.
b- From your opinion where is the feasible area of the production plan. Explain your answer.
Plotting of constraint line on graph:
The feasible area for machine hour constraint is O-E-F
The feasible area for labor hour constraint O-A-B
The common feasible area for which both constraints satisfied is O-A-B-O.
According to extreme points method, the optimal solution can be on points O, A, and B.
At point O, R = 0 , D = 0
At point A, R = 50,000 and D = 0
At point B, R = 0 and D = 30,000
