A furniture supplier, Acme Chairs, Inc., manufactures a Basic office chair and a Deluxe office chair. Each Basic chair costs $25.00 to manufacture, and each deluxe office chair costs $40.00 to manufacture. Acme Chairs wishes to determine the optimal production quantities per day for each chair model in order to minimize overall total cost.
The production of each chair requires three types of materials: Wood, Primer, and Paint. The amount of material available per day to manufacture the chairs is as follows:
- 30 units of wood.
- 600 oz. of primer.
- 750 oz. of paint.
