    Cut and Stitch (CS) make two types of suits using skilled tailors (labour) and a delicate and
    unique fabric (material). Both the tailors and the fabric are in short supply and so the
    accountant at CS has correctly produced a linear programming model to help decide the
    optimal production mix.
    The model is as follows:
    Variables:
    Let W = the number of work suits produced
    Let L = the number of lounge suits produced
    Constraints
    Tailors’ time: 7W + 5L < 3,500 (hours) – this is line T on the diagram
    Fabric: 2W + 2L < 1,200 (metres) – this is line F on the diagram
    Production of work suits: W < 400 – this is line P on the diagram
    Objective is to maximise contribution subject to:
    C = 48W + 40L
    On the diagram provided the accountant has correctly identified OABCD as the feasible
    region and point B as the optimal point.

    Calculate the new optimum production plan if maximum demand for W falls to
    200 units. ?

    They have taken Line F to solve the equation stating that Line F and w=200 intersect at the optimal point. I didn’t understand.

    This is linear programming and is examinable in Paper PM. It is not examinable in Paper FM (and you have posted your question in the Paper FM forum).
