"Muir Manufacturing produces two popular grades of commercial carpeting among its many other products. In the coming production period, Muir needs to decide how many rolls of each grade should be produced in order to maximize profit. Each roll of Grade X carpet uses 50 units of synthetic fiber, requires 25 hours of production time, and needs 20 units of foam backing. Each roll of Grade Y carpet uses 40 units of synthetic fiber, requires 28 hours of production time, and needs 15 units of foam backing.
The profit per roll of Grade X carpet is $200 and the profit per roll of Grade Y carpet is $160. In the coming production period, Muir has 3,000 units of synthetic fiber and 1,500 units of foam backing available for use. Workers have been scheduled to provide 1,800 hours of production time.
a) What is the linear programming model for this problem?
b) What is the optimal solution for this problem?
c) Compared to the optimal solution, how would profit change for each additional unit of synthetic fiber that is made available?"
