The Production Supervisor for a Manufacturing firm is planning the production of two electronic devices: Radios (R) and Sensors (S). Profits for the Radios are $8.00 per unit, and profits for the Sensors are $4.00 per unit. Two resources are constrained: production time (T), of which he has at most 160 minutes per day; and electronics (E), of which he can get at most 380 minutes per day. To build a Radio requires 2 minutes of production time and 5 minutes of electronics time, and to build a Sensor it requires 4 minutes of production time and 8 minutes of electronics time.
Using the Algebraic Method, calculate the Optimal Daily Profits.
