Example: A cat food company manufactures two products A and B.

Product A sells for $10 per bag and product B sells for $12 per bag. Both products
are made of chicken and fish and the only difference between them is the relative
amounts of chicken and fish as shown in the table below
compound
amount in
1 bag of A
amount in
1 bag of B
total amount
available
chicken 1 2 12
fish 3 2 24

How many bags of each product should be produced to maximize profit ?
Let x = # of bags of product A
and y = # of bags of product B
Then the total profit is P = 10x + 12y.
From the table the total amount of chicken used is x + 2y. Since there are only 12
lbs available we obtain the constraint x + 2y <= 12. Similarly, with the fish we
obtain the constraint 3x + 2y <= 24. Summarizing, we obtain the following linear
programming problem

Maximize P = 10x + 12y
subject to the constraints
| x + 2y s 12 |
3x + 2y s 24 |
x > 0 |
\ y > 0 .

Exercise
(1) Set up the following linear programming problem.
A company manufactures two products A and B on
two machines I and II. The company makes a profit
of $3 per item on each unit of product A and a profit
of $4 per item on each item of product B. The time
constraints for dthe machines are summarized in the
following table. Determine the number of units of
each product that should be produced to maximize
profit.

A Business Application: Minimum Cost
A small petroleum company owns two refineries. Refinery 1 costs $20,000 per day to
operate, and it can produce 400 barrels of high-grade oil, 300 barrels of medium-grade oil,
and 200 barrels of low-grade oil each day. Refinery 2 is newer and more modern. It costs
$25,000 per day to operate, and it can produce 300 barrels of high-grade oil, 400 barrels of
medium-grade oil, and 500 barrels of low-grade oil each day. The company has orders totaling 25,000 barrels of
high-grade oil, 27,000 barrels of medium-grade oil, and 30,000 barrels of low-grade oil. How many days should it
run each refinery to minimize its costs and still refine enough oil to meet its orders?
