Figure 20 - 5 The Golden Wheels Trailer Company recorded the following information for two of their trailers:
There are 100 hours available in the plant and 75 square feet of vinyl available per operating period.
Refer to Figure 20-5. The constraint equation representing the materials available for the production processes is
A) 3A + 5B ³ 100.
B) 17A + 13B = 75.
C) 17A + 13B £ 75.
D) 3A + 5B = 200.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The constraint equation for materials involves the square feet of vinyl available per operating period, which is given as 75. Therefore, the equation would be 17A + 13B ≤ 75, as the company requires 17 square feet of vinyl for each trailer of type A, and 13 square feet for each trailer of type B. The correct option is C, which represents this constraint equation.
