All four products make use of a specialist machine in their manufacture. The time required for each product on the specialist machine and the demand for each product for next year is given below;

Product  Y 0.4   hours per unit 6,000 units   

Product  A 0.5   hours per unit 4,000 units   

Product  B 0.3   hours per unit 3,000 units  

 

The maximum capacity of the specialist machine for next year is limited to 6,000 hours.

 

For business reasons the organisation wishes to supply at least 30% of the demand for products X and Y. There is an external supplier who is prepared to supply unlimited quantities of products A and B, at a price of £40 and £61 respectively.
