OPERATIONS RESEARCH

The Ready Mix Company owns a small paint factory that produces both interior and
exterior house paints for wholesale distribution. Two basic raw materials A and B
are used to manufacture the paints. The maximum availability of A is 6 tons a day,
that of B is 8 tons a day. The daily requirement of the raw materials per ton of
interior and exterior paints are summarized in the table:

Tons/ton of paint

Exterior Interior Max Available (tons)

Raw Material A 1 2 6

Raw Material B 2 1 8

A market survey has established that daily demand for interior paint cannot exceed
that of exterior paint by more than 1 ton. The survey also shows that the max
demand for interior paint is limited to 2 tons daily. The wholesale price per ton is
$3000 for exterior and $2000 for interior paint. How much interior and exterior
paints should the company produce daily to maximize gross income.
