Question

An electronics firm produces two models of pocket calculators: the A-100 (A) and the B-200 (B). Each model uses one circuit board, of which there are only 2,500 available for this week's production. In addition, the company has allocated a maximum of 800 hours of assembly time this week for producing these calculators. Each A-100 requires 15 minutes to produce while each B-200 requires 30 minutes to produce. The firm forecasts that it could sell a maximum of 4,000 of the A-100s this week and a maximum of 1,000 B-200s. Profits for the A-100 are $1.00 each and profits for the B-200 are $4.00 each. Which of the following is NOT a feasible solution? (A, B) = (0, 0) (A, B) = (0, 1000) (A, B) = (1800, 700) (A, B) = (2500, 0) (A, B) = (100, 1600)

Explanation / Answer

If the inequality constaintsare clearly observed,

we have maximum of 1000 B-200s in a week.

Thus clearly, (A,B) =(100,1600) is not a feasible solution
