[Solution] The Stone Company produces three sizes of window fans: small, medium, and The manager has formulated an LP model for fan production: maximize 6
Question: The Stone Company produces three sizes of window fans: small, medium, and The manager has formulated an LP model for fan production:
maximize \(\quad 6 x_{1}+8 x_{2}+5 x_{3} \quad\) (profit)
subject to
\(\begin{aligned} \text { Labor } & 3 x_{1}+4 x_{2}+5 x_{3} & \leq 160 \text { hours } \\ \text { Metal } & 1 x_{1}+2 x_{2}+3 x_{3} & \leq 100 \text { pounds } \\ \text { Plastic } & 2 x_{1}+2 x_{2}+2 x_{3} & \leq 110 \text { pounds } \\ \text { Large fan } & x_{3} & \geq 18 \\ x_{1}, x_{2}, x_{3} & \geq 0 \end{aligned}\)
Briefly explain or define each of these parts of the model:
- \(\quad x_{1}, x_{2}\), and \(x_{3}\).
- The 6 in the objective function.
- The product of the 8 and \(x_{2}\) in the objective function.
- The terms labor, metal, and plastic.
- The 5 in the labor constraint.
- The 160 hours.
- \(\quad x_{3} \geq 18\)
- The product of 5 and \(x_{3}\) in the labor constraint.
- \(\quad x_{1}, x_{2}, x_{3} \geq 0\)
- What two key questions can be answered using this model?
