document.write( "Question 1191132: A manufacturer produces three products, A, B, and C. The profits for each unit of A, B, and C sold are $1, $2, and $3, respectively. Fixed costs are $19000 per year, and the costs of producing each unit of A, B, and C are $4, $5, and $7, respectively. Next year, a total of 11,000 units of all three products is to be produced and sold, and a total profit of $25,000 is to be realized. If total cost is to be $82,000, how many units of each of the products should be produced next year? \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #822903 by Theo(13342)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! x is the number of units of product A. \n" ); document.write( "y is the number of units of product B. \n" ); document.write( "z is the number of units of product C \n" ); document.write( "your objective function is: \n" ); document.write( "profit = 1x + 2y + 3z = 25000 \n" ); document.write( "costs = 19000 + 4x + 5y + 7z = 82000 \n" ); document.write( "number of units to be produced and sold = x + y + z = 11000 \n" ); document.write( "you have 3 equations that need to be solved simultaneously. \n" ); document.write( "they are: \n" ); document.write( "1x + 2y + 3z = 25000 \n" ); document.write( "19000 + 4x + 5y + 7z = 82000 \n" ); document.write( "x + y + z = 11000 \n" ); document.write( "after solving these 3 equations simultaneously, you get: \n" ); document.write( "x = 2000 \n" ); document.write( "y = 4000 \n" ); document.write( "z = 5000 \n" ); document.write( "1x + 2y + 3z = 2000 + 8000 + 15000 = 25000 \n" ); document.write( "19000 + 4x + 5y + 7z = 19000 + 8000 + 20000 + 35000 = 82000 \n" ); document.write( "x + y + z = 2000 + 4000 + 5000 = 11000 \n" ); document.write( "this confirms the solution is correct. \n" ); document.write( "the solution is: \n" ); document.write( "2000 units of product A and 4000 units of product B and 5000 units of product C need to be produced and sold to get a profit of 25000 at a total cost of 82000.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if you need to know to solve the 3 equations simultaneously, let me know and i'll go through it with you. \n" ); document.write( "let me know if you have any other questions or concerns as well. \n" ); document.write( "theo\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
