The numbers of chairs and tables that should be produced each week in order to maximize the company's profit is 15 chairs and 18 tables.

Since a furniture company has 480 board ft of teak wood and can sustain up to 450 hours of labor each week, and each chair produced requires 8 ft of wood and 12 hours of labor, and each table requires 20 ft of wood and 15 hours of labor, to determine, if a chair yields a profit of $ 65 and a table yields a profit of $ 90, what are the numbers of chairs and tables that should be produced each week in order to maximize the company's profit, the following calculation should be done:

  • 16 chairs; 24 tables
  • Time used = 16 x 12 + 24 x 15 = 192 + 360 = 552
  • Wood used = 16 x 8 + 24 x 20 = 128 + 480 = 608  
  • 15 chairs; 18 tables
  • Time used = 15 x 12 + 18 x 15 = 180 + 270 = 450
  • Wood used = 15 x 8 + 18 x 20 = 120 + 360 = 480  
  • 12 chairs; 28 tables
  • Time used = 12 x 12 + 28 x 15 = 144 + 420 = 564
  • Wood used = 12 x 8 + 28 x 20 = 96 + 540 = 636  
  • 18 chairs; 20 tables
  • Time used = 18 x 12 + 20 x 15 = 216 + 300 = 516
  • Wood used = 18 x 8 + 20 x 20 = 144 + 400 = 544

Therefore, the only option that meets the requirements of time and wood used is that of 15 chairs and 18 tables, whose economic benefit will be the following:

  • 15 x 65 + 18 x 90 = X
  • 975 + 1,620 = X
  • 2,595 = X

Therefore, the numbers of chairs and tables that should be produced each week in order to maximize the company's profit is 15 chairs and 18 tables.
