The Golden Wheels Trailer Company recorded the following information for two of their trailers: $\begin{array}{lcc}&\text { Trailer A } &\text { Trailer B }\
\text { Processing time } & 3 \text { hours } & 5 \text { hours } \
\text { Vinyl cover used } & 17 \text { sq. ft. } & 13 \mathrm{sq} . \mathrm{ft} \
\text { Selling price } & \$ 60.00 & \$ 90.00 \
\text { Variable cost } & \$ 45.00 & \$ 60.00 \
\text { Fixed cost } & \$ 20.00 & \$ 30.00
\end{array}$
There are 100 hours available in the plant and 75 square feet of vinyl available per operating period.
The constraint equation representing the materials available for the production processes is
A)3A + 5B ? 100.
B)17A + 13B = 75.
C)17A + 13B ? 75.
D)3A + 5B = 200.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The constraint equation for the materials (vinyl cover used) should reflect the limitation of 75 square feet of vinyl available. Thus, the equation is $17A + 13B ≤ 75$, indicating that the total square footage used by both trailers cannot exceed 75 square feet.
