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.

Which correlation should be used to measure the relationship between gender and grade point average for a group of college stude
Alecsey [184]
I believe the correct answer would be A. The best correlation to use to measure the relationship between gender and grade point average for a group of college students would be the point-biserial correlation. It is coefficient that is used when a variable is dichotomous or that the variable is part of a whole set. It is used in measuring the direction of the correlation that is present between a dichotomous variable and a continuous variable. From the  question, the dichotomous variable would be the grade point average for a group of college students while the other variable is the continuous one.
