Number of chairs produced


Swearingen and McDonald, a small furniture manufacturer, produces fine hardwood tables and chairs. Each product must go through three stages in the manufacturing process -assembly, finishing, and inspection. Each table requires 12 hours of assembly, 20 hours of finishing, and 2 hours of inspection. Each chair requires 4 hours of assembly, 16hours of finishing, and 3 hours of inspection. The profit per table is $150 while the profit per chair is $100. Currently, each week there are 300 hours of assembly time available, 220 hours of finishing time, and 30 hours of inspection time. To keep a balance, the number of chairs produced should be at least twice the number of tables. Also, the number of chairs cannot exceed 6times the number of tables. Formulate this as a linear programming problem. Carefully define all decision variables. Find the solution.
