Question: Use the method of corners to solve the linear programming problem. MANUFACTURING-PRODUCTION SCHEDULING Kane Manufacturing has a division that produces two models of grates, model A and model B. To produce each model A grate requires 3 lb of cast iron and 6 min of labor. To produce each model B grate requires 4 lb of cast iron and 3 min of labor. The profit for each model A grate is $2.00, and the profit for each model B grate is $1.50. Available for grate production each day are 1000 lb of cast iron and 20 laborhours. Because of a backlog of orders for model B grates, Kane's manager has decided to produce at least 180 model B grates/day. How many grates of each model should Kane produce to maximize its profits?
