1. Kelson Sporting Equipment, Inc.

, makes two types of baseball gloves: a regular

model and a catcher’s model. The firm has 900 hours of production time available in
its cutting and sewing department, 300 hours available in its finishing department,
and 100 hours available in its packaging and shipping department. The production
time requirements and the profit contribution per glove are given in the following
table:

a. What is the linear programming model for this problem?

Let,
R= number of units of regular model
C= number of units of catcher's model

Max 5R + 8C

s.t.

R+ 3⁄2C ≤ 900
½ R+ ⅓ C ≤ 300
⅛ R+ ¼ C ≤ 100

R,C ≥ 0

10. The management of Hartman Company is trying to determine the amount of

each of two products to produce over the coming planning period. The following
information concerns labor availability, labor utilization, and product profitability:

a. Develop a linear programming model of the Hartman Company problem.

Solve the model to determine the optimal production quantities of products 1
and 2.
Let,
X1 and X2 be the number of units of products 1 and 2 to be produced respectively

Max 30X1+15X2

s.t.

1X1+0.35X2 ≤ 100
0.3X1+0.2X2 ≤ 36
0.2X1+0.5X2 ≤ 50

X1, X2 ≥ 0
