1. If Chandpur Enterprises Limited (CEL) were making only one batch, what is the best batch you could make? What is the profit associated with this batch?
2. Did the regulatory constraint of 4000 Kg per batch of finished product hamper BEL's ability to make more profit? Is it worthwhile to seek regulatory approval to increase that limit?
3. CEL has used some amount of seven raw materials in the past. A vendor may be somewhat unhappy if CEL does not order a particular type of raw material. How much profit will Akshay Mittal lose if he must use at least one unit of raw material in a batch given he would otherwise choose not to use that raw material?
4. What implications do your optimal batch from question one have on monthly contributions?
5. Do you have any further suggestions for how to improve monthly profits?
