A facility produces two products.The labor constraint in hours)is formulated as: 350x₁+300x₂≤ 10,000.The Number 350 means that A)one unit of product 1 contributes $350 to the objective function. B)one unit of product 1 uses 350 hours of labor. C)the problem is unbounded. D)the problem has no objective function.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number 350 represents the amount of labor (in hours) required to produce one unit of product 1. Therefore, option B is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because it refers to the contribution to the objective function, which is not given in the constraint. Option C is incorrect because there is no information provided to indicate that the problem is unbounded. Option D is incorrect because the question clearly states that there is an objective function.
