Joey Koons runs a small custom computer parts company. As a sideline he offers customized and prebuilt computer system packages. In preparation for the upcoming school year, he has decided to offer
two custom computer packages tailored for what he believes are current student needs. System A
provides a strong computing capability at a reasonable cost while System B provides a much more
powerful computing capability, but at a higher cost. Joey has a fairly robust parts inventory but is
concerned about his stock of those components that are common to each proposed system. A portion of
his inventory, the item cost, and inventory level is provided in the table below.

Joey is uncertain about product demand. In the past he has put together similar types of computer
packages but his sales results vary. As a result is unwilling to commit all his in-house labor force to
building the computer packages. He is confident he can sell all he can build and is not overly
concerned with lost sales due to stock-outs. Based on his market survey, he has completed his
advertising flyer and will offer System A for $ 1250 and will offer system B for $ 2325. Joey now
needs to let his workers know how many of each system to build and he wants that mix to maximize
his profits.
Formulate an LP for Dave's problem. Solve the model using the graphical method. What is Dave's
preferred product mix? What profit does Dave expect to make from this product mix?
ANS:
The cost to make System A is $1007 while the cost to make System B is $1992. The inventory levels
for hard drives limit System A production to 25 while the 700 MHZ processor inventory limits System
B production to 40. The common monitor is the 15 " unit and its inventory limits total production to
60. Coupled with the assembly, testing, and packaging constraints, the LP formulation is:
Maximize

$243 X1 + $333 X2
2.25 X1 + 2.50 X2 200
1.25 X1 + 2.00 X2 150

X1 + X2 60

Build 20 System A and 40 System B, total profit $18,180.
