1. CASE ELECTROTECH CORPORATION

The Electrotech Corporation manufactures two industrial-sized electrical devices:


Generators and Alternators. Both of these products require wiring and testing during the
assembly process. Each generator requires 2 hours of wiring and 1 hour of testing and can
be sold for a $250 profit. Each alternator requires 3 hours of wiring and 2 hours of testing
and can be sold for a $150 profit. There are 260 hours of wiring time and 140 hours of
testing time available in the next production period.
Electrotech wants to maximize profit.

You need to formulate (LP Model) the Objective function, constraints and upper and
lower bounds.

2. CASE ZIPPY MOTORCYCLE

Zippy motorcycle manufacturing produces two popular pocket bikes (miniature


motorcycles with 49cc engines): the Razor and the Zoomer. In the coming week the
manufacturer wants to produce up to 700 bikes and wants to ensure the number of Razors
produced does not exceed the number of Zoomer by more than 300. Each Razor produced
and sold results in a profit of $70 while each Zoomer results in a profit of $40. The bikes
are identical mechanically and only differ in the appearance of the polymer-based trim
around the fuel tank and seat. Each Razor’s trim requires 2 pounds of polymer and 3 hours
of production time while each Zoomer requires 1 pound of polymer and 4 hours of
production time. Assume that 900 pounds of polymer and 2,400 labor hours are available
for production of these items in the coming week.

3. CASE PC EXPRESS

PC-Express is a computer retail store that sells desktops and laptops. The company earns
$600 on each desktop computer it sells and $900 on each laptop. The computers PC-
Express sells are actually manufactured by another company. This manufacturer has a
special order to fill for another customer and cannot ship more than 80 desktops and 75
laptops to PC-Express next month. The employees at PC-Express must spend about 2 hours
installing software and checking each desktop computer they sell. They spend roughly 3
hours to complete this process for laptop computers. They expect to have about 300 hours
available for this purpose during the next month. The store’s management is fairly certain
that they can sell all the computers they order, but are unsure how many desktops and
laptops they should order to maximize profits.
