A company produces two products, A and B. Each unit of A requires 2 hours of machine time and 1 hour of labor. Each unit of B requires 1 hour of machine time and 3 hours of labor. Profit per unit for A is $10, and for B it is $12. Given 100 hours of machine time and 90 hours of labor, what is the maximum profit?
Correct: C
Formulate the problem with constraints: 2x + y ≤ 100 (machine), x + 3y ≤ 90 (labor), and x,y ≥ 0. The objective function is Z = 10x + 12y. Solving 2x + y = 100 and x + 3y = 90 simultaneously gives x = 30, y = 20. Z = 10(30) + 12(20) = 300 + 240 = 540. This is not an option, suggesting an error. Correct solution involves checking all corner points: (0,0): $0; (50,0): $500; (30,20): $540; (0,30): $360. The correct max is $540, but since this is not listed, the question likely intended constraints like 2x + y ≤ 90 and x + 3y ≤ 120, leading to (30,20) as a valid point. Adjusted constraints may alter the answer, but the explanation here reflects standard solving methodology.
