question 90
in a linear programming problem to determine the contribution maximising production and sales volumes for two products x and y the following information is available
product x product y total available
per unit per unit per period
direct labour hrs 2 hrs 4 hrs 10000 hrs
material x 4 kg 2 kg 14000 kg
contribution per unit $12 $18
the profit maximising level of output sales is 3000 units of product x and 1000 units of product y. what is shadow price of a direct labour hour

[shali12]

a company makes 2 products x and y on the same type of direct labour and production capacity per period is restricted to 60000 direct labour hours. the contribution per unit is $8 for product x and $6 for product y. the following constraints apply to production and sales
x < 10000
y< 12000
5x+4y < 60000
the contribution maximising output is to produce and sell 10000 units of product x and 2500 units of product y.
what is the shadow price per direct labour hour?
