XP-Pen Corporation is one of the leading manufacturer of graphics tablets. The corporation has<br>two types of machines to manufacture graphics tablets. Alpha machine has a production capacity<br>of 25 graphics tablets per hour while Beta machine has a production capacity of 40 graphics<br>tablets per hour. Both machines use the same raw material to produce graphics tablets yet at<br>different rate of usage. Alpha machine uses 40 pounds of the raw material per hour while Beta<br>machine uses 10 pounds more that Alpha machine per hour. Market predicts demand of the<br>graphics tablets will increase in the upcoming week. Hence the retailers are willing to pay $18<br>for each graphics tablet XP-Pen Corporation can deliver. However, due to the downtime for<br>maintenance, Alpha machine and Beta machine will be available for no more than 900 minutes<br>and 600 minutes, respectively. Production manager of the corporation specified that the number<br>of hours spent on Beta machine must be at least 40% of the number of hours spend on Alpha<br>machine. Also, XP-Pen Corporation has a maximum of 1000 pounds of the raw material will be<br>available for coming week's production; the cost of the raw material is $0.375 per ounce. XP-<br>Pen Corporation estimated that the cost of operating the Alpha machine and Beta machine for<br>every 30 minutes are $25 and $37.50, respectively.<br>[1 pound = 16 ounces]<br>(a) Formulate a linear programming model on deciding the number of hours that should be<br>spent on the machines in order to maximize the profit contribution.<br>(b) Find the feasible region by using graphical method and list all the extreme points.<br>(c) What is the optimal number of hours that should be spent on the machines in order to<br>maximize the profit contribution?
