Question - Quality Air Conditioning manufactures three home air conditioners: an economy model, a standard
model, and a deluxe model. The profits per unit are $63, $95, and $135, respectively. The production
requirements per unit are as follows:


For the coming production period, the company has 200 fan motors, 320 cooling coils, and 2400
hours of manufacturing time available. How many economy models (E), standard models (S), and
deluxe models (D) should the company produce in order to maximize profit? The linear programming
model for the problem is as follows.
Max63E + 95S + 135D
s.t.
1E + 1S + 1D = 200Fan motors
1E + 2S + 4D = 320Cooling coils
8E + 12S + 14D = 2400Manufacturing time
E, S, D ?Y 0
