Par Inc. is a small manufacturer of golf equipment. It produces two types of golf bags: Standard and Deluxe. Each bag type requires the following operations (and production times) to produce one unit:


Production Time (hours)

Time Available

Operation

Standard

Deluxe

630

Sewing

0.5

5/6

600

Finishing

2/3

708

Inspection

Time available refers to the production capacity for each of the above operations. For example, 630 total hours a month are available for cutting and dyeing, which will be distributed for the production of the two types of bags.

Every standard bag makes a profit of $10, and every deluxe bag makes a profit of $9.

The problem is to determine the optimal number of standard bags and deluxe bags to produce every month to maximize the profit contribution.
