RMC produces two products, a fuel additive and solvent base, from three raw materials. Each ton of fuel additive requires 2.5 tons of material 1 and 3.5 tons of material 3, and each ton of solvent base requires 1.2 tons of material 1, 1.5 tons of material 2, and 3.1 tons of material 3. The profit per ton is $50 for fuel additive and $30 for solvent base. RMC has 20 tons of material 1, 5 tons of material 2, and 21 tons of material 3 available this production period. The optimal production quantities to maximize total profit are 25 tons of fuel additive and 20 tons of solvent base for a total profit of $1850.

RMC, Inc.

is a small firm that produces a variety of chemical


products. In a particular production process, three raw materials are
blended (mixed together) to produce two products: a fuel additive and
a solvent base. Each ton of fuel additive is a mixture of 2 5 ton of
material 1 and 35 ton of material 3. A ton of solvent base is a mixture
of 12 ton of material 1, 15 ton of material 2, and 310 ton of material 3.
After deducting relevant costs, the profit contribution is $50 for every
ton of fuel additive produced and $30 for every ton of solvent base
produced.
RMC’s production is constrained by a limited availability of the three
raw materials. For the current production period, RMC has available
the following quantities of each raw material:
ANS:
F = tons of fuel additive
S = tons of solvent base
Maximize: Z=50F+30S
2 1
F+ S ≤ 20 (Material 1)
5 2
1
S ≤5 (Material 2)
5
3 3
F+ S ≤ 21(Material 3)
5 10
F, S≥0

Find the quantities require to maximise Z,


Corner point:
F S Z
0 25 750
18.75 25 1687.5
25 20 1850
35 0 1750
To maximizing the total profit contribution, 25 tons of fuel additive and 20 tons
of solvent base should be produced. Simultaneous, the projected total profit
contribution is:
(50x25) + (30x20) =$1850
