Labor. The construction of both types of furniture requires prior carpentry work and a final process.
finishing (painting, inspection of manufactured parts, packaging, etc.)
To make a table, 1 hour of carpentry and 2 hours of finishing process are needed. A chair requires 1 hour of
carpentry and 1 hour for the finishing process. The furniture store has no issues with raw material supply, but
It can only count weekly on a maximum of 80 hours of carpentry and a maximum of 100 hours for the work of
finished.
Due to market demands, the furniture store manufactures a maximum of 40 tables per week. This is not the case with the chairs, for which
there are no restrictions regarding the number of units produced.
The owner wants to determine the number of tables and chairs that he must manufacture weekly to maximize his
benefits.

9.PROTRAC produces two lines of heavy equipment:

Equipment for debris removal, intended for construction applications (E-9).
Forestry equipment, which is intended for the timber industry (F-7).
The two product lines are produced in the same department and with the same equipment. Making use of the
economic predictions for the next month, the marketing manager of PROTRAC believes that during that period
It will be possible to sell all the E-9 and F-7 that the company can produce.
The management must now recommend a production target for the next month, that is, how many E-9 and F-7
must be produced?
In that decision-making process, you should consider the following information provided by the company:
PROTRAC will have a profit of $5000 for each E-9 sold and $4000 for each F-7.
Each product goes through mechanical operations in both department A and department B.
c) For next month's production, these two departments have 150 and 160 hours available.

department B; while each F-7 consumes 15 hours in department A and 10 hours in department
B.
d) In order to fulfill a commitment to the union, the total number of hours of work that will be dedicated to the

of 150 hours. This verification is carried out in a third department that is not related to the activities
from departments A and B. Each E-9 requires 30 hours of commitment and each F-7 10 hours.
e) In order to maintain its current position in the market, top management has decreed that for the policy
For operation, it is necessary to build at least one F-7 for every 3 E-9s.
An important consumer has ordered a total of at least 5 devices (in any combination of E-9 and F-7), for
