A chemical company produces three products: (F)uel, (S)olvent and (D)etergent. Let F , S , and D represent the amount of each product they produce.

A chemical company produces three products: (F)uel, (S)olvent and (D)etergent. Let F, S, and D represent the amount of each product they produce. They use three limited materials, with constraints:

                        0.4F + 0.5S + 0.6D ≤ 20           Material 1

                                    0.2S + 0.1D ≤ 5            Material 2

                        0.6F + 0.3 S + 0.3 D ≤ 21          Material 3

                                                F, S, D ≥0

They also have a setup cost to produce each product and a maximum available production for each product.  Specifically:

$400

40

Let YF, YS and YD be binary variables.

Which objective function and constraints below will we need to add to the above material constraints to best represent this problem as a profit maximization? (2 pts)

A.

 

Max 40F + 30S + 50D – 200F – 50 S – 400 D

 

F ≤ 40 Y

S ≤  30  Y

D ≤ 50  Y

 

 

B.

 

Max 40F + 30S + 50D – 200YF – 50 YS – 400 YD

 

F = 50 Y

S = 25 Y

D = 40 Y

C.

 

Max 40F + 30S + 50D – 200YF – 50 YS – 400 YD

 

F ≤ 50 Y

S ≤ 25  Y

D ≤ 40  Y

D.

 

Max 40F + 30S + 50D – 200YF – 50 YS – 400 YD

 

F ≤ Y

S ≤ Y

D ≤ Y
