    The document describes four linear programming problems: 1. A company produces doors and chairs and must determine production quantities to maximize profit given constraints on materials, labor hours, and demand. 2. A manufacturer makes tents and must determine production quantities to maximize profit given constraints on labor hours and demand. 3. A firm manufactures lawn mowers and snow blowers and must determine production quantities to maximize profit given constraints on labor hours, materials, and engine availability. 4. A problem involving transporting wheat from grain elevators to mills to minimize costs given supply at elevators and demand at mills, with different transport costs between locations.

    Queens’ College MBA Students Exercise:

    1. DeReal international, produces wooden doors and chairs. Each doors sells for $27, uses
    $10 of raw materials and takes $14 of labor& overhead costs. Each chairs sells for $21,
    uses $9 of raw materials, and takes $10 of overhead costs. Each doors needs 2 hours
    finishing and 1 hour carpentry; each chairs needs 1 hour finishing and 1 hour carpentry.
    Raw materials are unlimited, but only 100 hours of finishing and 80 hours of carpentry
    are available each week. Demand for chairs is unlimited; but at most 40 doors can be sold
    each week. How many of each should be made each week to maximize profits.
    2. A manufacturer of light weight mountain tents makes two types of tents, REGULAR tent
    and SUPER tent. Each REGULAR tent requires 1 labor-hour from the cutting
    department and 3labor-hours from the assembly department. Each SUPER tent requires 2
    labor-hours from the cutting department and 4 labor-hours from the assembly
    department .The maximum labor hours available per week in the cutting department and
    the assembly department are 32 and 84 respectively. Moreover, the distributor, because
    of demand, will not take more than 12 SUPER tents per week. The manufacturer sales
    each REGULAR tents for $160 and costs$110 per tent to make. Where as SUPER tent
    ales for $210 per tent and costs $130 per tent to make.

    4. Horizon’s wheat is harvested in the Midwest and stored in grain elevators in three different
    cities Jimma, Mekelle, and Bahi Dar. These grain elevators supply three flour mills, located in
    Addis Ababa, Dire dawa, and Dilla. Grain is shipped to the mills in trucks, each truck capable of
    holding one ton of wheat. Each grain elevator is able to supply the following number of tons
    (i.e., trucks) of wheat to the mills on a monthly basis.

    Grain Elevator Supply

    1. Jimma 150

    2. Mekelle 175

    3. Bahir Dar 275

    Total 600 tons


    Each mill demands the following number of tons of wheat per month
    Mill Demand
    A. Addis Ababa 200
    B. Dire Dawa 100
    C. Dilla 300
    Total 600 tons
    The cost of transporting one ton of wheat from each grain elevator (source) to each mill
    (destination) differs according to the distance and road system.
