PROBLEMS
Problem 01
Maximize z = 6x1 + 5x2
Subjected to: x1 + x2 ≤ 5
3x1 + 2x2 ≤ 12

x1, x2 ≥ 0
Answer 01:
x1 = 2
x2 = 3
Z = 27
Problem 02
Minimize z = 6x1 + 3x2
Subjected to: 2x1 + 4x2 ≥ 16
4x1 + 3x2 ≥ 24

x1, x2 ≥ 0
Answer 02:
x1 = 0
x2 = 8
Z = 24
Problem 03
A farmer has 240 acres to plant. He needs to
decide how many acres of corn to plant and how
many of oats. He can make P 40 per acre profit
for corn and P 30 per acre for oats. However,
the corn takes 2 hours of labor per acre to
harvest and the oats only take 1 hour per acre.
He only has 320 hours of labor he can invest. To
maximize his profit, how many acres of each
should he plant?
Answer 03:
x1 = 80 acres of corn
x2 = 160 acres of oats
Z = P 8 000
Problem 04
The ABC Furniture produces tables. The
fixed monthly cost for production is P
320000 and the variable cost per table is P
2 600. The table is sold for P 7 200 a piece.
A) For a monthly volume of 300 tables,
determine the total cost, total revenue, and
total profit. B) Determine the monthly break-
even volume for the ABC Furniture.
Answer 04:
A)
Total Cost (TC) = P 1 100 000
Total Revenue (TR) = P 2 160 000
Total Profit (TP) = P 1 060 000

B) Volume = 70 tables
Problem 05
XYZ Meat Company produces hotdog mixtures in at most
1 000 lbs per batch. The mixture contains two ingredients –
chicken and beef. The cost per pound of each of these
ingredients is as follows: chicken is P 3 / lb and beef is P 5
/ lb. Each batch has the following recipe requirements: at
least 500 lbs of chicken and at least 200 lbs of beef. The
ratio of chicken to beef must be at least 2 to 1. The
company wants to know the optimal mixture of ingredients
that will minimize cost. Formulate a linear programming for
this problem.
Answer 05:

Mixture must contain 800 lbs of


chicken and 200 lbs of beef. It has
a total cost of P 3 400.
Problem 06
Reddy Mikks produces both interior and exterior paints from the
two raw materials, M1 and M2. The following table provides the
basic data of the problem:
Tons of Raw materials per ton of Maximum daily
Exterior paint Interior paint availability (tons)

Raw Material, M1 6 4 24
Raw Material, M2 1 2 6
Profit per ton (P 1000) 5 4

A market survey indicates that the daily demand for interior paint
cannot exceed that for exterior paint by more than 1 ton. Also the
maximum daily demand for interior paint is 2 tons. Reddy Mikks
wants to determine the optimum (best) product mix of interior and
exterior paint that maximizes the total daily profit.
Answer 06:

x1 = 3 tons
x2 = 1.5 tons
Z = 21 (P 21 000)
