Management Science Act 4

The document outlines an activity involving the graphical method for solving linear programming problems, including maximizing and minimizing objectives with given constraints. It presents two specific problems: one related to lamp production with constraints on brass, milling time, and light bulbs, and another concerning grain mixing for poultry with nutritional requirements. The task requires graphing the linear programs, shading feasible regions, finding intersections, and formulating decisions based on the results.

ACTIVITY 4. THE GRAPHICAL METHOD

A. Graph the following linear programs and do the following:


(i) Shade the feasible region
(ii) Solve for the needed intersection of lines (vertices of the
polygon)
(iii) Formulate the decision

1. Maximize : 30 x + 40 y
Subject to: 15x + 2y ≤ 34
4x + 15y ≥ 38
x≥0;y≥0

2. Minimize: 50x + 30 y
Subject to: 15x + 2y ≥ 50
12x + 4y ≥ 64
x≥0;y≥0

B. Problem Solving
Solve the problems using graphical method.

1. EAM Company manufactures two types of LAMPS: Special and


Regular lamp. Each special lamp requires 4 pounds of brass, and
each regular lamp requires 8 pounds of brass. During each
production period, the company’s brass supply is limited to 640
pounds. Each special lamp requires 6 hours of milling time while
each regular lamp requires 2 hours of milling time in the machines.
The company’s machines are available only for 360 hours in each
production period. Each special lamp requires 5 light bulbs that
must be imported from Hongkong. The importation of these bulbs is
limited 200 units. The contribution to profit of each special lamp is
400 pesos and 360 pesos on the regular lamp.
How many units of the special lamp and regular lamp should
be produced per production period in order to maximize the profit?

2 . A poultry raiser wants to mix two types of grain: A and B. Each


unit of grain A cost P40.00 and contains 20 grams of fat, 10 grams
of protein and 800 calories. Each unit of grain B costs P48.00 and
contains 30 grams of fat, 30 grams of protein, and 600 calories.
Suppose that the poultry raiser wants each unit of the final product
to yield at least 180 grams of fat, at least 120 grams of protein and
at least 4800 calories. How many units of each type of grain should
the poultry raiser use to minimize his cost?
