The Whitt Window Company is a company with only three employees which makes two different kinds of hand-crafted

windows: a wood-framed and an aluminum-framed window. They earn $180 profit for each wood-framed window and
$90 profit for each aluminum-framed window. Doug makes the wood frames and can make 6 per day. Linda makes the
aluminum frames and can make 4 per day. Bob forms and cuts the glass and can make 48 square feet of glass per day.
Each wood-framed window uses 6 square feet of glass, and each aluminum-framed window uses 8 square feet of glass.
The company wishes to determine how many windows of each type to produce per day to maximize total profit. Please
answer below questions:

(c) Use the graphical method to solve this model

X1 X2 Z = 2X1 + X2 Z = 180X1 + 90X2


0 4.0 4.0 360
4 2.7 10.7 960
6 1.5 13.5 1,215

This solution indicates that the Whitt Window Company should produce 6
wood frame per day and 1.5 aluminum frame per day, respectively, with a resulting
total profit of $1.215 per day.
