Damon Furniture (DF) produces fiberglass doors in two processes: molding and finishing. DF is currently producing two models: Masoline and Aldernite. Production in the molding department is limited by the amount of materials available. Production in the finishing department is limited by the amount of trained labor available. The only variable costs are materials in the molding department and labor in the finishing department. Following are the requirements and limitations by model and department:

The following requirements refer only to the preceding data. There is no connection between the requirements.
