Reddy Mikks Problem (Taha)
FThe Reddy Mikks company owns a small paint factory that produces both interior and exterior house paints for wholesale distribution. Two basic raw materials, A and B, are used to manufacture the paints.
FThe maximum availability of A is 6 tons a day; that of B is 8 tons a day. The daily requirements of the raw materials per ton of interior and exterior paints are summarized in the following table.
FA market survey has established that the daily demand for the interior paint cannot exceed that of exterior paint by more than 1 ton. The survey also showed that the maximum demand for the interior paint is limited to 2 tons daily.
FThe wholesale price per ton is $3000 for exterior paint and $2000 per interior paint. How much interior and exterior paint should the company produce daily to maximize gross income?
