Artisan Bread & Co. is a small bakery focuses on using high-quality ingredients. They produce four types of pastries: croissants, muffins, cookies, and clairs. They have limited daily availability for three key resources: flour (120 kgs), butter (65 kgs), and oven space (40 hours). The table below (also provided in worksheet DS 7) shows the resource requirements per unit of each pastry:

Pastry Flour (kg) Butter (kg) Oven Time (hours) Profit per Unit
Croissant 0.90.61.2 $2.10
Muffin 0.750.30.85 $1.40
Cookie 0.40.150.6 $0.60
clair 1.250.751.5 $2.50
You cannot produce a fractional units of each pastry and the amount of each pastry must be integer (e.g.,2.3 croissants is not acceptable).
How many units of each pastry should the bakery produce each day to maximize their total profit, considering the resource constraints? You need to develop an optimization model and use the Excel solver.
