Stanton and Sons Ltd$.($SSL$)$ is the largest coconut processor in Abu Dhabi. SSL buys coconuts at $300$ rupees per thousand to produce two grades $($fancy and granule$)$ of desiccated $($dehydrated$)$ coconut for candy manufacturers, coconut shell flour used as a plastics filler, and charcoal.

Nuts are first sorted into those good enough for desiccated coconut $(90\%)$ versus those good only for their shells. Those dedicated to desiccated coconut production go to hatching$/$pairing to remove the meat and then through a drying process. Their shells pass on for use in flour and charcoal. The $10\%$ of nuts not suitable for desiccated coconut go directly to flour and charcoal.

SSL has the capability to hatchet $300,000$ nuts per month and dry $450$ tons of desiccated coconut per month. Every $1000$ nuts suitable for processing in this way yields $0\mathrm{.}16$ ton of desiccated coconut, $18\%$ of which is fancy grade, and the rest granulated. Shell flour is ground from coconut shells; $1000$ shells yield $0\mathrm{.}22$ ton of flour. Charcoal also comes from shells; $1000$ shells yield $0\mathrm{.}5$ ton of charcoal.

SSL can sell fancy desiccated coconut at $3500$ rupees per ton over hatcheting and drying cost, but the market is limited to $40$ tons per month. A contract requires SSL delivery of at least $30$ tons of granulated$-$quality desiccated coconut at $1350$ rupees per ton over hatcheting and drying, but any larger amounts can be sold at that price. The market for shell flour is limited to $50$ tons per month at $450$ rupees each. Unlimited amounts of charcoal can be sold at $250$ rupees per ton.
