Ry Answer To Tyu6

My approach to answering this: First pick out the easy parts from the Info Provided: We are told Max Demand Variables

Flak X

150

Sap

80 per month

Y

(I always make the X the first product we are told about, Like Flak then Sap becomes Y.)

When are given figures like this we know these will always be straight lines on the Graph so can put a straight lines on the graph Step 2

Labour

Selling Price Less Raw Mat Cost Skilled semi Skilled

CONTRIBUTION STEP 3

Flak

125

Sap

30 30 15 75 x

50

165 20 30 75 125

y

40

We are advised Skilled labour is limited to 2000 hrs and semi skilled to 2,500 hrs p month So now write out the constraints Skilled Labour

10x + 10 y

< 2000

Semi Skilled

5x + 25 y

< 2500

Then we isolate each variable to find the coordinates to plot on the chart. I have attached Kaplan's answer, so if u tell me which part you don't get then I will continue as there's no point in me just duplicating answer. I will scan some articles on basic Graph revisionfor us all which should help us in F5.
