Quiz 4
A manufacturer makes and sales four types of products: Product X, Product Y, Product Z, and Product W.
The resources needed to produce one unit of each product and the sales prices are given in the following Table.

Formulate an LP that can be used to maximize sales revenue for the manufacturer.
LP Formula
Let Pi be the number of product type i produced by the manufacturer, where i = X, Y, X, and W.
MAXIMIZE 4 PX + 6 PY + 7 PZ + 8 PW
Subject To
2 PX + 3 PY + 4 PZ + 7 PW <= 4600 ! Available Steel
3 PX + 4 PY + 5 PZ + 6 PW <= 5000 ! Available Machine Hours
PX + PY + PZ + PW = 950 ! Total Demand
PW >= 400 ! Product W Demand
PX >=0
PY >=0
PZ >=0
PW >=0
Suppose the sales price of Product Z is decreased by 60¢. What is the new optimal solution to the LP?

The given problem is to solve the lp...all the steps are clearly written in the pic...if you have any doubt ask in the comment section...THANK YOU :-)
