Name: Fernandez, Lalaine Michicko L. Section: Date: Score

Smith's, a clothing manufacturer, has 280 hours of available sewing machine time and 450 hours of available cutting machine time per month. Each shirt requires 1 hour of sewing and 1.5 hours of cutting, while each pair of pajamas requires 0.75 hours of sewing and 2 hours of cutting. Shirts yield a $4 profit contribution and pajamas yield a $3 profit contribution. A linear programming model is created to maximize profit based on production quantities. The problem is solved using the corner-point method. The optimal solution is producing 18 shirts and 4 pairs of pajamas, yielding a maximum profit of $190.

1. Smith’s, a clothing manufacturer in Niagara, New York that produces men’s shirts and pajamas, has
two (2) primary resources available: sewing-machine time (in the sewing department) and cutting-
machine time (in the cutting department). Over the next month, owner Barbara Smith can schedule up
to 280 hours of work on sewing machines and up to 450 hours of work on cutting machines. Each
shirt produced requires 1.00 hour of sewing time and 1.50 hours of cutting time. Producing each pair
of pajamas requires 0.75 hours of sewing time and 2 hours of cutting time.
Smith’s accounting department analyzes cost and sales figures and states that each shirt produced
will yield a $4 contribution to profit and that each pair of pajamas will yield a $3 contribution to profit.
Create a linear programming model for the Smith’s.

S= Shirts P= Pajamas

Maximize: $4S + $3P

Subject to:
1.00S + 0.75P ≤ 280 (Sewing time)
1.50S + 2P ≤ 450 (Cutting time)❑❑
S ≥ 0 and P ≥ 0

2. Solve the linear programming problem for Kevin Caskey Wholesale Inc. using the corner-point
method.
Maximize: $9 x 1 + $7 x 2
Constraints: 2 x 1 + x 2 ≤ 40
x 1 + 3 x 2 ≤ 30
x 1, x 2 ≥ 0

Point A (0,0) Profit = 0


Point B (0,10) Profit = 9(0) + 7(10) = $70
Point D (20,0) Profit = 9(20) + 7(0) = $180

Equations must be solved to appear at point c 2 x 1 +1 x2 = 40 and x 1 + 3 x 2 = 30 concurrently.


Add the first equation to the second equation after multiplying by -2.

2 x 1 + 1 x 2 = 40
-2 z 1 - 6 x 2 = -60

-5 x 2 = -20
x2 = 4

either x 1= 18 or x 1 + 3(4) or x 1+ 12 = 30.


Point C: x 1= 18, x 2 = 4 Profit = 9(18) + 7(4) = $190
