(Kelson) is looking to maximize operations. The comany produces two different types of baseballs Catcher's model glove. There are four stages of opertions for required to produce each gl number of hours available. Production time requirement for each glove is given in the followi The profit for each type of glove is given in the table below: We denote the number of Regular model gloves as R and the number o Linear program is given by: Max 5 R+8 C s.t. ■8( &1 R+3/2 C≤900) ■8( &1/2 R+1/3 R≤300) ■8( &1/8 R+1/4 C≤100) ■8( &R,C≥0) We will find the optimal solution using Excel Solver.
