Question 995520: An electronics firm manufactures two types of personal computers: a desktop model and a laptop model. Producing a desktop computer costs $400 and 40 labor-hours. Producing a laptop costs $250 and 30 labor-hours. The firm currently has $20,000 and 2160 labor-hours available for desktop and laptop production. Each desktop sold brings the firm a $320 profit and each laptop sold brings a $220 profit. Let x represent number of desktops and y represent number of laptops made per week.

2. State the objective function.

your objective function is to maximize your profit.

your objective function is:

p = 320 * x + 220 * y

p is the total profit
x is the number of desktop computers sold
y is the number of laptop computers sold.

your fixed costs are 400 * x + 250 * y

your fixed cost constraints are 400 * x + 250 * y <= 20,000.

your labor hours are 40 * x + 30 * y

your labor hour constraints are 40 * x + 30 * y <= 2160.
