4. Barrows Textile Mills produces two types of cotton cloth— denim and corduroy.
Corduroy is a heavier grade of cotton cloth and, as such, requires 7.5 pounds of raw
cotton per yard, whereas denim requires 5 pounds of raw cotton per yard. A yard of
corduroy requires 3.2 hours of processing time; a yard of denim requires 3.0 hours.
Although the demand for denim is practically unlimited, the maximum demand for
corduroy is 510 yards per month. The manufacturer has 6500 pounds of cotton and 3000
hours of processing time available each month. The manufacturer makes a profit of
$2.25 per yard of denim and $3.10 per yard of corduroy. The manufacturer wants to
know how many yards of each type of cloth to produce to maximize profit.
