Question

Woodland Bicycles makes two models of off-road bicycles: the Explorer, which sells for $250, and the Grande Expedition, which sells for $350. Both models use the same frame, but the painting and assembly time required for the Explorer is 2 hours, while the time is 3 hours for the Grande Expedition. There are 375 frames and 450 hours of labor available for production. How many of each model should be produced to maximize revenue?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be number of woodland bicyles and Y grande expedition

Our objective is to maximize profit

Z = 250x+350Y

Constraints are:  2x+3y<450 and

x+y<375

(given)

Solution gives negative y. Hence intersecting point is not within constraint.

So choices satisfying the constraints would be min of 225, 375 for x and min of 150,375 for x

i.e x=225 and y =150

To maximize revenue 225 Woodland and 150 Grande to be produced
