Subject:BusinessPrice:2.87 Bought7
Brooklyn Cabinets is a manufacturer of kitchen cabinets. The two cabinetry styles manufactured by Brooklyn are contemporary and farmhouse. Contemporary style cabinets sell for $90 and farmhouse style cabinets sell for $85. Each cabinet produced must go through carpentry, painting, and finishing processes. The following table summarizes how much time in each process must be devoted to each style of cabinet.
| Hours per process | |||
| Style | Carpentry | Painting | Finishing |
| Contemporary | 2.0 | 1.5 | 1.3 |
| Farmhouse | 2.5 | 1.0 | 1.2 |
Carpentry costs $15 per hour, painting costs $12 per hour, and finishing costs $18 per hour, and the weekly number of hours available in the processes is 3000 in carpentry, 1500 in painting, and 1500 in finishing. Brooklyn also has a contract that requires the company to supply one of its customers with 500 contemporary cabinets and 650 farmhouse style cabinets each week.
Let
x = the number of contemporary style cabinets produced each week
y = the number of farmhouse style cabinets produced each week
Develop the objective function, assuming that Brooklyn Cabinets wants to maximize the total weekly profit.
The objective function is maximize p=18.6x+13.9y
Show the mathematical expression for each of the constraints on the three processes.
Hours available in carpentry: x1 + y1 ≤
Hours available in painting: x2 + y2 ≤
Hours available in finishing: x3 + y3 ≤
Show the mathematical expression for each of Brooklyn Cabinets' contractual agreements.
x ≥
y ≥
what's the right answers of the last question? X>=0 and y>=0 is not correct.

Answer:
