Use the two steps for solving a linear programming problem, given in the box on page 606, to solve the problems in Exercises 17–23.
17. A manufacturer produces two models of mountain bicycles. The times (in hours) required for assembling and painting each model are given in the following table:
The maximum total weekly hours available in the assembly department and the paint department are 200 hours and 108 hours, respectively. The profits per unit are $25 for model A and $15 for model B. How many of each type should be produced to maximize profit?

- The Lawson Fabric Mill Produces five different fabrics. Each fabric can be woven on one or more of the mill’s 36 looms. The sales department’s forecast of demand for the next month is shown in below Table 1, along with data on the selling price per yard, variable cost per yard, and purchase price per yard. The mill operates 24 hours a day and is scheduled for 30 days during the coming month. The mill has two types of looms: draw and regular. The draw looms are more versatile and can be used for all five fabrics. The regular looms can produce only three of the fabrics. The mill has a total of 36 looms: 8 are draw and 28 are regular. The rate of production for each fabric on each type of loom is given in below Table 2. The time required to change over from producing one fabric to another is negligible and does not have to be considered. The Lawson Fabric Mill satisfies all demand with either its own fabric or fabric purchased from another mill. Fabrics that cannot be woven at the…arrow_forwardActivity 7 (1 ) Please provide detailed solution with explanation and justification asap to get a upvote for Each part Pleasearrow_forwardRon attends a cocktail party (with his graphing calculator in his pocket).

- You are part of a government task force evaluating whether new models of cars will meet fuel efficiency standards set out by the newly signed climate bill. You have run an ANCOVA model that predicts fuel efficiency (in miles per gallon) as a function of vehicle weight (measured in thousands of lbs, where a value of 2.5 would correspond to 2,500 lbs), horsepower, and number of cylinders in the car (cylinders is a factor in this model with 3 levels: 4 cylinders, 6 cylinders, and 8 cylinders). Your analysis tells you the following; The mean miles per gallon of all cars analyzed is 20.09 The mean weight of all cars analyzed is 3.217 thousand lbs The mean horsepower of all cars analyzed is 146.7 The regression coefficient for weight is -3.18 miles per gallon per additional thousand lbs The regression coefficient for horsepower is -0.023 miles per gallon per additional unit of horsepower Cars with 4 cylinders get 2.13 more miles per gallon, on average, than the average car Toyota is…arrow_forwardA farmer has 1000 acres of land on which he can grow corn, wheat, and soybean.
