Z=2A + 4B
4A + 6B ≥ 120
2A + 6B ≥ 72
B ≥ 10

Minimize Z= 2A + 4B 70

Constraints,
4A + 6B ≥ 120 120
2A + 6B ≥ 90 72
B ≥ 10 10

A= 15
B= 10

Answer report from Excel solver,

The minimum value of Z = 70 is obtained when A =15 and B = 10.

Product
X
Machine Type X1 2 X3
Milling machine 8 2 3
Lathe 4 3 0
Grinder 2 0 1

Available machine time in hours per week

Machine hours per week


Milling machine 800
Lathe 480
Grinder 320

Unit profit for three products are

Unit profits
X1 $ 20.00
X2 $ 6.00
X3 $ 8.00

a)
Unit profits for X1, X2 and X3 is $20, $6 and $8

To maximize the profit,


Z=20X1 + 6X2 + 8X3

Constraints,
Available time for the machines,

Milling
machine 8X1+2X2+3X3 ≤800
Lathe 4X1+3X2≤480
Grinder 2X1+X3≤320

Maximum selling potential of


Given, X3≤80 X3 is 80
X1,X2,X3 ≥0

b) and c)

Using excel solver, we got

Variables
X1 45
X2 100
X3 80

Maximize
profit
Z= 2140

Constraints,
Milling
machine 800 ≤ 800
Lathe 480 ≤ 480
Grinder 170 ≤ 320
X3 80 ≤ 80

Answer report from solver,

The optimal solution is for maximum profit is,

Using excel solver we got the following :

Variable X1 X2 X3 Total
45 180 80 2140

Maximum profit = $2140

d)

From Excel solver,

Milling machine is working at capacity, 800-800=0


Lathe machine is working at capacity, 480-480=0
Grinder is working at less capacity, 320-170=150

Hence Milling machine and Lathe is working at maximum capacity but the grinder is at low capacity.

X3 is at maximum sales capacity as X3=80.

e)

From the sensitivity report using the excel solver,

From the sensitivity report, we can see that milling machine has an allowable increase in
hours upto 400. The shadow price is $2.25 in the sensitivity report and it is more than the
increment cost $1.50 in the question.
Hence, since the shadow cost is more than the increment cost, additional 200 hours of
overtime will increase the profit and this solution can be accepted.
