- A railroad is being proposed by the government to join two neighboring cities. The railroad will significantly reduce the travel time between the two cities. The only concern is that to set up the infrastructure for the railroad, approximately ten square miles of forests will need to be cleared. The forest is known for its flora and fauna and regularly attracts people from all over the country. Any construction activity in the forest would deprive future generations of this rich heritage. Thus the plan for the proposed railroad has been shelved because of the idea that the environment should be protected so that future generations may live in it, and have the choices as individuals have today.

Setting up the production facilities to begin production would cost $50,000 for toy 1 and $80,000 for toy 2. Once these costs are covered, the toys would generate a unit profit of $10 for toy 1 and $15 for toy 2. The company has two factories that are capable of producing these toys. However, to avoid doubling the start-up costs, just one factory would be used, where the choice would be based on maximizing profit. For administrative reasons, the same factory would be used for both new toys if both are produced. Toy 1 can be produced at the rate of 50 per hour in factory 1 and 40 per hour in factory 2. Toy 2 can be produced at the rate of 40 per hour in factory 1 and 25 per hour in factory 2. Factories 1 and 2, respectively, have 500 hours and 700 hours of production time available before Christmas that could…arrow_forward
