3. a. Maximize Z = 20X1 + 6X2 + 8X3
s.t. 8X1 + 2X2 + 3X3 < 800
4X1 + 3X2 < 480
2X1 + X3 < 320
X3 < 80
X1 , X2 , X3 > 0
b. Excel solution
X1 X2 X3 Total
Decision 45 100 80
Profit $20 $6 $8 $2,140
Resources
X1 X2 X3 Used Capacity
Milling 8 2 3 800 <= 800
Lathes 4 3 480 <= 480
Grinders 2 1 170 <= 320
Sales 1 80 <= 80
c. Solution is X1 = 45 S1 = 0 Z = $2140
X2 = 100 S2 = 0
X3 = 80 S3 = 150
S4 = 0
d. S1 = 0 implies milling machines at capacity
S2 = 0 implies lathes at capacity
S3 = 150 implies grinders not at capacity, with 150 hours available
S4 = 0 implies that X3 is at maximum sales capacity
e. The shadow price for the milling machine department is $2.25 per hour. Since it only cost
$1.50 per hour to work overtime in this department, it is worthwhile to do so. The
allowable increase in overtime is 400; however, only 200 hours are available. Therefore, it
is recommended that 200 hours of overtime in the milling machine department be used.
