Suppose that a furniture manufacturer makes chairs, sofas and tables. The amounts of labour of various types as well as the relative availability of each type are summarized by the following chart:
chair sofa table daily labor available (hrs.)
carpentry 6 3 8 768
finishing 1 1 2 144
upholstery 2 5 216
The profit per chair is $80, per sofa is $70 and per tableis $120. How many pieces of each type of furniture should be manufactured each day to maximize profit? Use the Simplex Method.
