Answers (1)

Answer:

Max \: Profit \Rightarrow Rs. 3360  which is obtained by selling 360 copies of hardcover edition and 600 copies paperback edition.

Hint:

Form Linear Equation and solve graphically.

Given:

A publisher sells a hard cover edition of a text 600K for Rs.72.00 and a paperback edition of the same text for Rs.240.00. Costs of the publisher are Rs.56.00 and Rs.28.00 per book respectively in addition to weekly costs of Rs.9600.00. Both types require 5 minutes of printing time, although hard cover requires 10 minutes binding time and the paperback requires only 2 minutes. Bothe the printing back and binding operations have 4800 min available each week.

Solution:

Let the sale of hard cover edition be h and that of paperback editions be t

S.P. of a hard cover edition of the textbook  = Rs. 72.
S.P. of a paperback edition of the textbook = Rs. 40.
Cost to the publisher for a paperback edition = Rs.28
weakly cost to the publisher  =Rs.9600.
Profit to bae maximized, z=(72-56)h+(40-28)t-9600

The corner points are 0(0,0),B(0,960), ?(360,600),F(480,0).

The value of z at these corner points are as follows.

Corner Points

 z

O

-9600

B

1920

?

3360

F

-1920

The maximum value of z is 3360 which is attained at ? (360,600)

Thus, maximum profit is 3360 which is obtained by selling 360 copies of hardware edition and 600 copies paperback edition.
