The Manufacturing Problem -- Example 1
A manufacturer makes wooden desks (X) and tables (Y). Each desk requires 2.5 hours to assemble, 3
hours for buffing, and 1 hour to crate. Each table requires 1 hour to assemble, 3 hours to buff, and 2
hours to crate. The firm can do only up to 20 hours of assembling, 30 hours of buffing, and 16 hours of
crating per week. Profit is $3 per desk and $4 per table. Maximize the profit.
