Solution

Dymo Supreme
Raw Material A 0.5 0.5 ≤ 150
Raw Material B 0.6 0.4 ≤ 145
Profit 8 10

Step 1: Decision Variable

Let 𝑥1 = Number of Dymo produced

𝑥2 = Number of Supreme produced

Step 2: Objective function

Max 𝑧 = 8𝑥1 + 10𝑥2

Step 3: Constraints

s.t 0.5𝑥1 + 0.5𝑥2 ≤ 150

0.6𝑥1 + 0.4𝑥2 ≤ 145

30 < 𝑥1 < 150

40 < 𝑥2 < 200

𝑥1 , 𝑥2 ≥ 0

Optimal model:

Max 𝑧 = 8𝑥1 + 10𝑥2

s.t 0.5𝑥1 + 0.5𝑥2 ≤ 150

0.6𝑥1 + 0.4𝑥2 ≤ 145

30 < 𝑥1 < 150

40 < 𝑥2 < 200

𝑥1 , 𝑥2 ≥ 0 (nonnegativity constraints)
0.5𝑥1 + 0.5𝑥2 ≤ 150 ……①

0.6𝑥1 + 0.4𝑥2 ≤ 145 …….②

0.5𝑥1 = 150 − 0.5𝑥2

𝑥1 = 300−𝑥2 …………③

Sub ③into②

0.6(300 − 𝑥2 ) + 0.4𝑥2 = 140

180 − 0.6𝑥2 + 0.4𝑥2 = 140

40 = 0.2𝑥2

𝑥2 = 200
Sub 𝑥2 = 200 into ③

𝑥1 = 300 − 200

𝑥1 = 100
When 𝑥1 = 100 and 𝑥2 = 200
Then,

𝑧 = 8(100) + 10(200)

𝑧 = 800 + 2000

𝑧 = 2800
∴ Hence, optimal model is 𝑅𝑚 2800.
