Question
A farmer plans to plant two different types of vegetables, avocados (A) and beans (B). The cost of cultivating avocados (A) is $40/acre whereas that of the bean crop (B) is $60/acre. Our farmer has a maximum of $7400 available for land farming. Each acre of avocados (A) requires 20 labor-hours, and each acre of beans (B) requires 25 labor-hours. The farmer has a maximum of 3300 labor-hours available. If our farmer expects to make a profit of $150/acre on avocados (A) and $200/acre on beans (B), how many acres of each crop should our farmer plant in order to maximize his profit?

- A company manufactures two types of leaf blowers: an electric Turbo model and a gas-powered Tornado model. The company's production plan calls for the production of at least 710 blowers per month. It costs $74 to produce each Turbo model and $111 to manufacture each Tornado model, and the company has at most $65,860 per month to use for production. Find the number of units that should be produced to maximize profit for the company, and the maximum profit, if the profit on each Turbo model is $35 and the profit on each Tornado model is $35.

- Kane Manufacturing has a division that produces two models of grates, model A and model B. To produce each model A grate requires 3 pounds of cast iron and 6 minutes of labor. To produce each model B grate requires 4 pounds of cast iron and 3 minutes of labor. The profit for each model A grate is $1.75, and the profit for each model B grate is $1.25. Available for grate production each day are 1000 pounds of cast iron and 20 labor-hours. Because of an excess inventory of model A grates, management has decided to limit the production of model A grates to no more than 180 grates per day.

- A small company manufactures three different electronic components for computers. Component A requires 2 hours of fabrication and 1 hour of assembly; component B requires 3 hours of fabrication and 1 hour of assembly; and component C requires 2 hours of fabrication and 2 hours of assembly. The company has up to 900 labor-hours of fabrication time and 700 labor-hours of assembly time available per week. The profit on each component, A, B, and C, is $7, $8, and $10, respectively. How many components of each type should the company manufacture each week in order to maximize its profit (assuming that all components manufactured can be sold)? What is the maximum profit?
