Problem 7-09 (Algorithmic) Hawkins Manufacturing Company produces connecting rods for 4- and 6-cylinder automobile engines using the same production line. The cost required to set up the production line to produce the 4-cylinder connecting rods is $1,400, and the cost required to set up the production line for the 6-cylinder connecting rods is $3,100. Manufacturing costs are $15 for each 4-cylinder connecting rod and $18 for each 6-cylinder connecting rod. Hawkins makes a decision at the end of each week as to which product will be manufactured the following week. If a production changeover is necessary from one week to the next, the weekend is used to reconfigure the production line. Once the line has been set up, the weekly production capacities are 6,500 6-cylinder connecting rods and 8,200 4-cylinder connecting rods. Let X4 = the number of 4-cylinder connecting rods produced next week X6 = the number of 6-cylinder connecting rods produced next week S4= 1 if the production line is…
