Question 14 4 points Save Answer A company makes two products in a single plant. It runs this plant for 100 hours each week. Each unit of product A that the company produces consumes two hours of plant capacity, earns the company a contribution of $1000, and causes, as undesirable side effects, the emission of 4 ounces of particulates. Each unit of product B that the company produces consumes one hour of capacity earns the company a contribution of $2000, and causes, as undesirable side effects, the emission of 3 ounces of particulates and 1 ounce of chemicals. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) requires the company to limit the particulate emission to at most 240 ounces per week and chemical emission to at most 60 ounces per week. The government wants to limit the plant's operations to 75 hours per week. The policy will have the following effect: O The release of particulates will drop by 30 ounces per week; the release of chemicals will remain the same. 0 The release of chemicals will drop by 10 ounces per week; the release of particulates will remain the same O The release of both chemicals and particulates will stay the same O None of the above
