MAXIMIZING AND MINIMIZING EXERCISES 1. The Mahogany Company manufactures baseball bats and chess sets.

Each baseball bats yields an incremental profit of P90, and each set, P180. A baseball bat requires 4 hours of processing at machine center A and 2 hours at machine center B. A chess set requires 6 hours at machine center A, 6 hours at machine center B, and 1 hour at machine center C. Machine center A has a maximum of 130 hours of available capacity per day, machine center B has 72 hours, and machine center C has 10 hours. If the company wishes to maximize profit, how many baseball bat and chess set should be produced per day? 2. BC Town brewery brews two beers: Expansion Draft and Burning River. Expansion Draft sells for P900 per barrel, while Burning River sells for P360 per barrel. Producing a barrel of Expansion Draft takes 8 pounds of corn and 4 pounds of hops. Producing a barrel of Burning River requires 2 pounds of corn, 6 pounds of rice , and 3 pounds of hops. The brewery has 500 pounds of corn, 300 pounds of rice, and 400 pounds of hops. Assuming a linear relationship, determine the optimal mix of Expansion draft and Burning River that maximize BC Town. 3. Solve the following: Maximize Z= 3x + y 12x + 4y less than or equal to 85 3x + 2y less than or equal to 18 y less than or equal to 4 4. Minimize Z=2a + 4b 4a+ 6b greater than or equal to 120 2a + 6b greater than or equal to 72 b greater than or equal to 10
