Discuss the below problem:
Q: Starbucks needs to decide how many muffins and how many croissants to produce each day. The profit per muffin is $2 and the profit per croissant is $1.5. On an average, each muffin takes 3 minutes of labor time and 3 minutes of oven time (of course they are produced in batches. For simplification I have given you the time per piece). Croissants take 10 minutes of labor time and 1 minute of oven time. Starbucks can have its labor dedicated for a maximum of 2 hours every day. The oven time is limited to 5 hours during the night. Due to customer requests Starbucks produces at least 5 croissants every day.
Based on the information above, which of the following are constraints faced by Starbucks, as it applies to solving an LP problem (Choose ALL the relevant ones. Wrong answers will incur negative marking)
Total labor time used must be less than the maximum of 2 hours of labor time available.
Each croissants take 10 minutes of labor time and 1 minute of oven time
Each muffin can only generate a profit of $2
Each muffin takes 3 minutes of labor time and 3 minutes of oven time
Total oven time used must be less than the maximum of 6 hours of oven time available.
Number of croissants produced by Starbucks needs to be at least 5 per day.
Each croissant can only generate a profit of $1.5
