Questions: Question A company manufactures two types of cell phones, a basic model and a pro model. The basic model generates a profit of 100 per phone and the pro model has a profit of 150 per phone. On the assembly line the basic phone requires 7 hours, while the pro model takes 11 hours. The basic phone requires 1 hour and the pro phone needs 3 hours for finishing, which includes loading software. Both phones require 1 hour for testing. On a particular production run the company has available 1,540 work hours on the assembly line, 360 work hours for finishing, and 200 work hours in the testing department: What is that maximum profit from manufacturing both phones? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Do not include a dollar sign or comma in your answer.

Solution

Solution Steps

To solve this problem, we need to set up a linear programming model. The objective is to maximize the profit, subject to the constraints on the available work hours for assembly, finishing, and testing. We will use the scipy.optimize.linprog function in Python to find the optimal solution.

Step 1: Define the Variables

Let $ x_1 $ be the number of basic phones produced and $ x_2 $ be the number of pro phones produced.

Step 2: Objective Function

The objective is to maximize the profit: \[ \text{Maximize } P = 100x_1 + 150x_2 \]

Step 3: Constraints

The constraints based on the available work hours are:
