Discuss CIMA CIMAPRO19-P01-1 Exam Topic 9 Question 100

JRL manufactures two products from different combinations of the same resources. Unit selling prices and unit cost details for each product are as follows:

Identify, using graphical linear programming, the weekly production schedule for products J and L that will maximize the profits of JRL during the next four weeks.

AOptimum plan (including major customer order) is therefore:W 900 unitsR 700 unitsX 2,100 units

BOptimum plan (including major customer order) is therefore:W 1, 000 unitsR 600 unitsX 2,000 units

COptimum plan (including major customer order) is therefore:W 910 unitsR 800 unitsX 2,200 units

DOptimum plan (including major customer order) is therefore:W 900 unitsR 650 unitsX 2,000 units

EOptimum plan (including major customer order) is therefore:W 950 unitsR 750 unitsX 2,300 units

Suggested Answer: D

Not sure about D, those numbers seem off to me.

Melina 11 months ago

A is definitely the most straightforward choice here.

Lottie 11 months ago

Surprised that E has the highest units but not the best profit!

Eden 12 months ago

I disagree, C seems more balanced with 910 units of W.

Mitsue 12 months ago

I think option B looks solid with 1,000 units of W.

Joaquin 1 year ago

I’m leaning towards option D, but I can’t recall if we calculated the profit margins correctly for each product in our practice sessions.

Madalyn 1 year ago

I feel like I should double-check the constraints we discussed in class; they might help narrow down the choices.

Stevie 1 year ago

I think option B sounds familiar, but I’m uncertain if the production units add up correctly for maximizing profit.

Lina 1 year ago

I remember we practiced a similar question on linear programming, but I’m not sure about the exact numbers for the optimum plan here.

Marla 1 year ago

This is right up my alley! I'm confident I can tackle this using the graphical method. I'll start by identifying the decision variables, then plot the constraints and find the optimal production schedule.

Noah 1 year ago

I'm feeling a little lost on this one. The graphical approach seems tricky, and I'm not sure I have a good grasp of the underlying concepts. Maybe I should try a different approach, like the simplex method.

Shelia 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about how to approach this graphically. I may need to review my notes on linear programming techniques before diving in.

Jettie 1 year ago

This looks like a classic linear programming problem. I'll start by setting up the objective function to maximize profits, then identify the constraints based on the resource information provided.

Elly 1 year ago

Okay, let's see. I think I can set up the equations for the constraints, then graph the feasible region and find the optimal point. Should be straightforward enough.

Bette 2 years ago

But the rationale behind my answer is that it maximizes profits for JRL during the next four weeks.

Rutha 2 years ago

I disagree, I believe the answer is E) Optimum plan (including major customer order) is therefore:W 950 unitsR 750 unitsX 2,300 units.

Aracelis 2 years ago

This is a classic case of 'too many cooks in the kitchen.' I'll stick with Option B - it's the Goldilocks of production schedules.

Ilona 2 years ago

Option A is the clear winner here. Who doesn't love a nice, round number like 2,100 units?

Fernanda 2 years ago

↳ replying to Ilona

I think we can all appreciate the simplicity of option A.

Elza 2 years ago

↳ replying to Ilona

Definitely, it makes the production schedule easier to manage.

Bronwyn 2 years ago

↳ replying to Ilona

Yeah, it's always satisfying to see everything neatly rounded off like that.

Veronique 2 years ago

↳ replying to Ilona

I agree, option A seems like the best choice with those nice round numbers.

Brice 2 years ago

Haha, these options are like trying to juggle chainsaws. I'll go with Option E - go big or go home!

Candra 2 years ago

The question is a bit tricky, but I think Option D is the way to go. It's a more conservative approach that still maximizes profits.

Wayne 2 years ago

↳ replying to Candra

I see your point, but I still think Option D is the best option here.

Zona 2 years ago

↳ replying to Candra

I'm leaning towards Option A, it seems like a balanced plan.

Isaiah 2 years ago

↳ replying to Candra

I think Option E might be a better choice for maximizing profits in the long run.

Aleisha 2 years ago

↳ replying to Candra

I'm not sure, but Option A also looks like a good option for maximizing profits.

Erinn 2 years ago

↳ replying to Candra

I agree, Option D seems like a safe choice to maximize profits.

Celia 2 years ago

↳ replying to Candra

I think Option E might be a bit too risky with those high numbers.

Jacquelyne 2 years ago

↳ replying to Candra

I agree, Option D seems like a safe choice.

Kiley 2 years ago

Option B seems the most logical. Maximizing profits is all about finding the right balance in production.

Lettie 2 years ago

↳ replying to Kiley

Yes, I think option B strikes a good balance between the different products to maximize profits.

Adria 2 years ago

↳ replying to Kiley

I agree, option B does seem like the most balanced choice for maximizing profits.

Bette 2 years ago

I think the answer is A) Optimum plan (including major customer order) is therefore:W 900 unitsR 700 unitsX 2,100 units.
