A company manufactures two products X and Y. Each product has to be processed in three departments: welding, assembly and painti

ng. Each unit of X spends 2 hours in the welding department, 3 hours in assembly and 1 hour in painting. The corresponding times for a unit of Y are 3, 2 and 1 hours respectively. The employee hours available in a month are 1,500 for the welding department, 1,500 in assembly and 550 in painting. The contribution to profits are 100 USD for product X and 120 USD for product Y. What is the objective function (Z) to be maximised in this linear programming problem (where Z is total profit in USD)? (note : means =)

Answer:

100x + 120y = z

z = $63000

Step-by-step explanation:

Product               Welding          Assembly       Painting                Contribution to profit

X                              2x hours            3x hours          1x hour          =        $100x

Y                              3y hours            2y hours          1y hour        =       $120y

                                                                                               

Total hours          1500 hours        1500 hours     550 hours

available

X is defined as product X

Y is defined as product Y

2x + 3y = 1500

x + y = 550

y = 550 - x

2x + 3(550 - x) = 1500

2x + 1650 - 3x = 1500

150 = x

y = 550 - 150

y = 400

Objective Function Z = 100x + 120y

Z = 100(150) + 120(400)

Z = 15000 + 48000

Z = $63000

The mistake lies in the fact that the logarithms have different bases. The one-to-one property of logarithms cannot be applied unless the bases are identical. <span>To correct this, the change of base formula should be used to express the logarithms with a uniform base.
I have confirmed this using Edge.</span>

Plans A and D are incorrect because plan C states that it would have a consistent price for 8 weeks, whereas plan D would require 16 weeks to reach $12, which eliminates A and D as options. If the price were to be increased by 10% weekly, it would take 5 weeks to hit $12, as 10% of $8 amounts to 80 cents, leading to a total increase of $4 after 5 weeks, making the price $12. This confirms that B is the right choice.

tester [12383]
70%Step-by-step explanation:First, determine how many fixtures are left to install.270-81=189. The fraction representing the work still to be done is the count of fixtures to install divided by the total amount. So, % of work remaining equals 189 divided by 270, which equals 0.7. Converting this to percentage form gives us 0.7 * 100% = 70%.
