The Margan furniture company makes tables and chairs. They must determine the optimal number of each product to maximize profits given constraints of the assembly and finishing departments' time availability. Additionally, a generator burns two types of fuel to produce electricity. It must determine the optimal amount of each fuel to use to minimize costs while meeting electricity generation and emissions requirements.

1.

The Margan furniture makes two products: table and chairs, which must be processed through assembly and furnishing
departments. Assembly department is available for 60 hours in every production period, while the finishing department is
available for 48 hours of work. Manufacturing one table requires four hours in the assembly and two hours in the finishing.
Each chair requires two hours in the assembly and four hours in the finishing. Each table contributes P180 profit, while a
chair contributes P100. Determine the number of tables and chairs to make per production in order to maximize the profit.
2. A small generator burns two types of fuel: low sulfur and high sulfur to produce electricity. For one hour, each gallon of low
sulfur emits 3 units of sulfur dioxide (SO 2), generates 4 kilowatts electricity and costs P160. Each gallon of high sulfur emits 5
units of SO2, generates 4 kilowatts and costs P150. The environmental protection agency insists that the maximum amount
of SO2 that can be emitted per hour is 15 units. Suppose that at least 16 kilowatts must be generated per hour, how many
gallons of high sulfur and low sulfur must be utilized per hour in order to minimize the cost of fuel?
