Solve the following problem using the simplex method.A manufacturer makes three lines of tents, the Alpine, the Cub, and the Aspen. They are all made of the same material; the Alpine requires 30 square yards; the Cub, 15 square yards; and the Aspen, 60 square yards. The manufacturing cost of the Alpine is $36, the Cub $24, and the Aspen $32. The material is available in amounts of 8400 square yards weekly, and the weekly working budget of the company is $7680. If the profit is $8 on each Alpine, $4 on each Cub, and $12 on each Aspen, what should the weekly production schedule be to maximize total profit?
What will be an ideal response?
Maximum profit = $2,000 when 160 Alpine, no Cub, and 60 Aspen are produced.
