. A company produces two products, A and B, which have profits of $9 and $7, respectively. Each unit of product must be processed on two assembly lines, where the required production times are as follows. Product Hours/Unit Line 1 Line 2 A 12 4 B 4 8 Total hours 60 40 a) Formulate a linear programming model to determine the optimal product mix that will maximize profit. b) Transform this model into standard form.

(a) Linear model

Subject to:

(b) Standard form:

Subject to:

Explanation:

Given

Solving (a): Formulate a linear programming model

From the question, we understand that:

A has a profit of $9 while B has $7

So, the linear model is:

Subject to:

Where:

Solving (b): The model in standard form:

To do this, we introduce surplus and slack variable "s"

For inequalities, we add surplus (add s)

Otherwise, we remove slack (minus s)

So, the standard form is:

So, the linear model is:

Subject to:

forbearance of student loan payments. under forbearance, your loan payments are postponed (or reduced) but interest continues to accrue during the period of forbearance. if you don't pay the interest during that period, the interest may be “capitalized,” which means it is added to your principal balance.
