question 105

Multiple Choice

A company manufactures commercial heating system components and domestic furnaces at its factories in Monaca, PA and Hamburg, NY. At the Monaca plant, no more than 1000 units per day can be produced, and the number of commercial components cannot exceed 100 more than half the number of domestic furnaces. At the Hamburg plant, no more than 850 units per day can be produced. The profit on each commercial component is $400 at the Monaca plant and $390 at the Hamburg plant. The profit on each domestic furnace is $200 at the Monaca plant and $215 at the Hamburg plant. If there is a rush order for 540 commercial components and 740 domestic furnaces, how many of each should be produced at each plant in order to maximize profits? Find the maximum profit. Note: Assume that exactly enough units are produced to fill the rush order. ​
