Question 1 (10 marks)
A cobbler makes three types of shoes: stiletto, casual and park. Each pair of stiletto takes 8
hours to fabricate, 5 hours to sand and 6 hours to couple. Each pair of casual takes 6 hours to
fabricate, 4 hours to sand and 2 hours to couple. Each pair of park requires 5 hours of
fabrication, 2 hours of sanding and 4 hours of coupling. The cobbler has 96 hours for
fabrication, 44 hours for sanding and 58 hours for coupling. The profit margins are N$38 per
pair of stiletto, N$26 per pair of casual and N$22 per pair of park. Model this information into a
linear programming problem. Declare your variables unambiguously and name the constraints.
DO NO SOLVE.
