s expanding its product line to include three new products: A, B, and C. These are to be produced on the same production equipment, and the objective is to meet the demands for the three products using overtime where necessary. The demand forecast for the next four months, in hours required to make each product is: PRODUCT A B C APRIL 850 650 750 Regular time Overtime MAY 650 750 550 Because the products deteriorate rapidly, there is a high loss in quality and, consequently, a high carrying cost when a product is made and carried in inventory to meet future demand. Each hour's production carried into future months costs $3 per production hour for A. $4 for B, and $5 for C. Objective value JUNE 850 950 750 Production can take place either during regular working hours or during overtime. Regular time is paid at $4 when working on A. $5 for B, and $6 for C. The overtime premium is 50 percent of the regular time cost per hour. The number of production hours available for regular time and overtime is APRIL 1,550 750 JULY 1,250 1,050 900 MAY 1,360 700 JULY 2,000 1,000 Calculate the objective value using Excel Solver.
