◉ Each coffee table produced by Timothy Kent Designers nets the
firm a profit of $9. Each bookcase yields a $12 profit. Kent's firm is
small and its resources limited. During any given production
period (of 1 week), 10 gallons of varnish and 12 lengths of high
quality redwood are available. Each coffee table requires
approximately 1 gallon of varnish and 1 length of redwood. Each
bookcase takes 1 gallon of varnish and 2 lengths of wood.T =
number of tables produced each weekB = number of bookcases
produced each week
Referring to Table 8-5, which of the following constraints would
be used?
a. 1T + 1B ≥ 10
b. 1T + 2B ≤ 12
c. 9T + 1B ≤ 10
d. 9T + 12B ≤ 12
Answer: B

bookcase takes 1 gallon of varnish and 2 lengths of wood.
T = number of tables produced each week
B = number of bookcases produced each week
Referring to Table 8-5, suppose that this problem requires that
you use all the varnish for the week. How would the linear
programming representation change?
A. 1B + 1T ≤ 10 will be replaced by 1B + 1T ≥ 10.
B. 1B + 1T ≤ 10 will become 1B + 1T ≤ 12.
C. 2B + 1T ≤ 12 will become 2B + 1T = 12.
D. 1B + 1T ≤ 10 will become 1B + 1T = 10.
Answer: D
◉ A marketing research firm would like to survey undergraduate
and graduate college students about whether or not they take out
student loans for their education. There are different cost
implications for the region of the country where the college is
located and the type of degree. The survey cost table is provided
below:
