ITPEC IP April 2019 Question 66
ITPEC IP April 2019 — Question 66 of 100
The maximum profit is 10 million yen by allocating three units to factory A and one unit to factory C. The table gives 7 million for A with three units and 3 million for C with one, totaling 7 + 3 = 10. Checking other four-unit allocations shows none exceeds 10.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- all four units at A or C yield 8
- two units each to A and C yield 9
- no allocation in the table reaches 11
Key rule: For a small discrete resource-allocation problem, enumerate combinations whose allocated units sum to the available total and compare their combined returns.
