Farmer Jones must determine how many acres of corn and wheat to plant this year. An acre of wheat yields 25 bushels of wheat and requires 10 hours of labor per week. An acre of corn yields 10 bushels of corn and requires 4 hours of labor per week. All wheat can be sold at $4 a bushel, and all corn can be sold at $3 a bushel. Seven acres of land and 40 hours per week of labor are available. Government regulations require that at least 30 bushels of corn be produced during the current year. Let x1 = number of acres of corn planted, and x2 = number of acres of wheat planted. Using these decision variables, formulate an LP whose solution will tell Farmer Jones how to maximize the total revenue from wheat and corn. By using Excel Solver, the obtained maximum revenue is $_____ by planting _____ acres of corn and _____ acres of wheat.

Billy Penny is trying to determine how many units of two types of lawn mowers to produce each day. One of these is the Standard model, while the other is the Deluxe model. The profit per unit on the Standard model is $60, while the profit per unit on the Deluxe model is $40. The Standard model requires 20 minutes of assembly time, while the Deluxe model requires 35 minutes of assembly time. The Standard model requires 10 minutes of inspection time, while the Deluxe model requires 15 minutes of the inspection time. The company must fill an order for 6 Deluxe models. There are 450 minutes of assembly time and 180 minutes of inspection time available each day. Billy Penny is to determine the best possible combination of Standard model and Deluxe model to manufacture in order to reach the maximum profit. Formulate this as a linear programming problem and find the solution that gives the maximum profit. By using Excel Solver, the obtained maximum profit is $_____ by producing _____ Standard and _____ Deluxe models.

As a supervisor of a production department, you must decide the daily production totals of a certain product that has two models, the Deluxe and the Special. The profit on the Deluxe model is $12 per unit and the Special's profit is $10. Each model goes through two phases in the production process, and there are only 100 hours available daily at the construction stage and only 80 hours available at the finishing and inspection stage. Each Deluxe model requires 20 minutes of construction time and 10 minutes of finishing and inspection time.
