The farmer has 168 hectares of land and €2000 capital. Wheat costs €14/hectare to sow and barley costs €10/hectare. Wheat profits €80/hectare and barley profits €55/hectare. The optimal number of hectares for wheat and barley to maximize profit is 80 hectares for wheat and 88 hectares for barley, yielding maximum profit of €11,240. The company can assemble air conditioners and fans. Air conditioners require 3 hours wiring and 2 hours drilling; fans require 2 hours wiring and 1 hour drilling. There are 240 hours wiring and 140 hours drilling available. Air conditioners yield €25 profit each; fans yield

1.

A wheat and barley farmer has 168 hectare of ploughed


land, and a capital of E2000. It costs
E14 to sow one hectare wheat and E10 to sow one hectare of
barley. Suppose that his profit is
E80 per hectare of wheat and E55 per hectare of barley. Find
the optimal number of hectares
of wheat and barley that must be ploughed in order to
maximize profit? What is the maximum
profit? [80,88], Profit E11 240
2. An company manufactures two electrical products: air
conditioners and large fans. The assembly
process for each is similar in that both require a certain
amount of wiring and drilling.
Each air conditioner takes 3 hours of wiring and 2 hours of
drilling. Each fan must go through
2 hours of wiring and 1 hour of drilling. During the next
production period, 240 hours of wiring
time are available and up to 140 hours of drilling time may be
used. Each air conditioner sold
yields a profit of E25. Each fan assembled may be sold for a
profit of E15. Formulate and
solve this linear programming mix situation to find the best
combination of air conditioners
and fans that yields the highest profit.
