Packaging—-Resource Allocation A computer company has two manufacturing plants, one in Rochester and one in Queens. Packaging a computer in Rochester takes 1.5 hours and costs $15, while packaging a computer in Queens takes 2 hours and costs $30. The profit on each computer manufactured in Rochester is $40, and the profit on each computer manufactured in Queens is $30. The Rochester plant has 80 computers available, and the Queens plant has 120 computers available. If there are 210 hours and $3000 allotted for packaging the computers, how many computers should be packaged at each of the two plants to maximize the company’s profits?

- Last year, at Haven's Pond Car Dealership, for a particular model of BMW, Jeep, and Toyota, one could purchase all three cars for a total of $140,000. This year, due to inflation, the same cars would cost $151,830. The cost of the BMW increased by 8%, the Jeep by 5%, and the Toyota by 12%. If the price of last year's Jeep was $7,000 less than the price of last year's BMW, what was the price of each of the three cars last year?arrow_forwardIf during the following year it is predicted that each comedy skit will generate 30 thousand and each musical number 20 thousand, find the maximum income for the year. A television program director must schedule comedy skits and musical numbers for prime-time variety shows. Each comedy skit requires 2 hours of rehearsal time, costs 3000, and brings in 20,000 from the shows sponsors. Each musical number requires 1 hour of rehearsal time, costs 6000, and generates 12,000. If 250 hours are available for rehearsal and 600,000 is budgeted for comedy and music, how many segments of each type should be produced to maximize income? Find the maximum income.arrow_forward
