7.7. Extension of the Example: Adding Almond Rasmalai

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is the profit from one box of barfis?

   Hint

   Refer to the previous examples where profits were discussed.

2. 2.

   How many boxes of halwa can be made at maximum?

   Hint

   Think about the constraints given for halwa.

3. 3.

   What is the maximum profit from the new product rasmalai?

   • 100 rupees
   • 600 rupees
   • 1300 rupees

   Hint

   Recall the profits we established for each sweet.

4. 4.

   True or False: The constraints will not change when a new product is added.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about how resources and limits change with each product.

5. 5.

   Given the constraints, determine how many boxes of each sweet can be produced if the goal is to maximize profit while adhering to the total production constraint of 400.

   Hint

   Consider graphing the equations and calculating profits at each vertex.

6. 6.

   Consider a market with fluctuating prices for rasmalai. How would a price drop to 1000 rupees affect your production strategy?

   Hint

   Update the profit calculation and see how it impacts the feasible region.
