Let the merchant stock x desktop models and y portable models. Therefore,

x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0

The cost of a desktop model is Rs 25000 and of a portable model is Rs 4000. However, the merchant can invest a maximum of Rs 70 lakhs   

The monthly demand of computers will not exceed 250 units.

The profit on a desktop model is Rs 4500 and the profit on a portable model is Rs 5000.

Total profit, Z = 4500x + 5000y

Thus, the mathematical formulation of the given problem is

subject to the constraints,

The feasible region determined by the system of constraints is as follows.

The corner points are A (250, 0), B (200, 50), and C (0, 175).

The values of Z at these corner points are as follows.

Corner point

Z = 4500x + 5000y

 

A(250, 0)

112500o

 

B(200, 50)

115000o

→ Maximum

C(0, 175)

875000

 

The maximum value of Z is 11500o0 at (200, 50).

Thus, the merchant should stock 200 desktop models and 50 portable models to get the maximum profit of Rs 115000 0.
