The Electrocomp Corporation manufactures two electrical products: air
conditioner and large fans. The assembly process for each is similar in
that both require a certain amount of wiring and drilling. Each air
conditioner takes 3 hours of wiring and 2 hours of drilling. Each fan
must go through 2 hours of wiring and 1 hour of drilling. During the
next production, period 240 hours of wiring time are available and up to
140 hours of drilling time may be used. Each air conditioner sold
yields a profit of $25. Each fan assembled may be sold for a profit of
$15. Formulate and solve this LP production mix situation to find the
best combination of air conditioners and fans that yields the highest
profit. Use the graphic method.
