Determine the weekly maximum test kit production.

-Determine how much of each equipment type should be purchased to achieve the maximum output (Note that partial equipment time can be purchased as the cost can be shared proportionally with other projects).

-Determine and discuss the relative value of each equipment type in terms of value to the production process relative to its cost.

They have ledged 25 million dollars to produce as many test kits as possible.
