A small-scale industry manufactures two kinds of thermos bottles: standard air pot
and electric air pot. The components of these two thermoses are processed by two
different machines, A and B. During the scheduling period, the production head found
out that there are 20 hours of machine A time available and 35 hours of machine B. to
complete one unit of the standard model needs 1 hour on machine A and I hour on
machine B, while it takes two hours on B to complete one unit of the electric model. The
company can sell all the units it can produce per production period at a profit of P30 per
standard model and P70 per electric model. If the company’s objective is to maximize
profit, how many units of each model should be produced and sold by the company?
Machines Standard Air Pot Electric Air Pot Available Time
A 1 hr. 20 hrs.
B 1hr. 2 hrs. 35 hrs.
