Dante Carpet Manufacturing Inc. uses a process costing system and calculates per-unit costs using the weighted
average method. The company has two sequential production departments, Extrusion and Weaving. The following data
relates to production for both departments for its Rayon carpet brand for the month of January. Note that since carpet is
sold by the square yard, each “unit" refers to a square yard of carpet:
Extrusion department:
Beginning Work in Process Inventory:
300 units,
40% complete with respect to conversion
Ending Work in Process Inventory:
250 units,
20% complete with respect to conversion
Weaving department:
Beginning Work in Process Inventory:
200 units,
30% complete with respect to conversion
Ending Work in Process Inventory:
400 units,
35% complete with respect to conversion
All direct materials are added at the beginning of the extrusion process, and conversion costs are assumed to be incurred
uniformly. No new materials are added in the weaving process-just…

- Hart Manufacturing makes three products. Each product requires manufacturing operations in three departments: A, B, and C. The labor-hour requirements, by department, are as follows: During the next production period the labor-hours available are 450 in department A, 350 in department B, and 50 in department C. The profit contributions per unit are 25 for product 1, 28 for product 2, and 30 for product 3. a. Formulate a linear programming model for maximizing total profit contribution. b. Solve the linear program formulated in part (a). How much of each product should be produced, and what is the projected total profit contribution? c. After evaluating the solution obtained in part (b), one of the production supervisors noted that production setup costs had not been taken into account. She noted that setup costs are 400 for product 1, 550 for product 2, and 600 for product 3. If the solution developed in part (b) is to be used, what is the total profit contribution after taking into account the setup costs? d. Management realized that the optimal product mix, taking setup costs into account, might be different from the one recommended in part (b). Formulate a mixed-integer linear program that takes setup costs provided in part (c) into account. Management also stated that we should not consider making more than 175 units of product 1, 150 units of product 2, or 140 units of product 3. e. Solve the mixed-integer linear program formulated in part (d). How much of each product should be produced and what is the projected total profit contribution?
