2.1. brown furniture revisited revisit the brown furniture company (example 2.1). as plans are being made for a new quarter, a revised set of figures on resource availabilities is compiled. the new resource limits are as follows.

fabrication hours	2000
assembly hours	1800
machining hours	1600
wood supply	9400

the other data, on profit contributions and resource consumptions, all remain unchanged.

1. what are the optimal production quantities of chairs, desks, and tables?
2. what is the maximum profit contribution?
3. which constraints are binding in the optimal solution?
4. which scarce resource is the most valuable? (ie: if raised by one unit, which constraint raises the profit most? what is the value of that unit increase?
