QUESTION 8

In a certain week a manufacturer makes two types of garden furniture, chairs and
tables. Let x be the number of chairs and y be the number of tables.

8.1 Write down the constraints in terms of x and y if it is given that:

8.1.1 At most 60 chairs and 100 tables can be manufactured in a week. (2)

8.1.2 At least 80 pieces of garden furniture must be produced in a week to

cover costs. (1)

8.1.3 It takes 40 minutes to make a chair and 30 minutes to make a table.

The factory works a maximum of 60 hours per week. (1)

8.2 Represent the constraints graphically on the graph paper provided on the
Diagram Sheet. Shade the feasible region. (7)

8.3 If the profit on a chair is R40 and on a table is R80, write down the
equation in terms of x and y which will represent the profit (P). (1)

8.4 Use the graph to determine the point (x ; y) in the feasible region where the
profit is a maximum. (4)

8.5 The manager is informed that the workers’ union plans a strike for the
following week, which will result in a maximum of 50 hours being worked.
How many of each type of garden furniture should then be manufactured for a
maximum profit? What will the maximum profit then be for the week? (4)
