The optimum solution​ is: Number of trucks to be produced per day​ = nothing ​(round your response to two decimal​ places).

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

(a)

Variables are given as follows

Total number of cars, C1

Total number of trucks, T1

(b)

Our aim is to maximize the total profit of Green Vehicle Inc.

Max z = 300T1 + 220T1

(c)

In this question, we have limitations, which are

0.025T1 + 0.017C1 ≤ 1

0.020T1 + 0.020C1 ≤ 1

hence attached below are the excel solutions to the problem
