1.A small motor manufacturer makes two types of motor, models A and B. The assembly process for each is similar in that both require a certain amount of wiring, drilling, and assembly. Each model A takes 3 hours of wiring, 2 hours of drilling, and 1.5 hours of assembly. Each model B must go through 2 hours of wiring, 1 hour of drilling, and 0.5 hours of assembly. During the next production period, 240 hours of wiring time, 210 hours of drilling time, and 120 hours of assembly time are available. Each model A sold yields a profit of $22. Each model B can be sold for a $15 profit. The manufacturer has a backorder of 24 model A. Find the best combination of motors to yield the highest profit. Formulate the problem as a linear programming model and solve it using the graphical method.
