A chemical manufacturing plant can produce z units of chemical Z given p units of chemical P and r units of chemical R, where:
z = 100p0.84,0.16
Chemical P costs $400 a unit and chemical R costs $2,800 a unit. The company wants to produce as many
units of chemical Z as possible with a total budget of $700,000.
A) How many units each chemical (P and R) should be "purchased" to maximize production of chemical Z
subject to the budgetary constraint?
Units of chemical P, P =
Units of chemical R, TE
B) What is the maximum number of units of chemical Z under the given budgetary conditions? (Round your
answer to the nearest whole unit.)
Max production, 2=
units
