Resource Allocation   Your salami manufacturing plant can order up to 1,000 pounds of pork and 2,400 pounds of beef per day for use in manufacturing its two specialties: Count Dracula Salami and Frankenstein Sausage. Production of the Count Dracula variety requires 1 pound of pork and 3 pounds of beef for each salami, while the Frankenstein variety requires 2 pounds of pork and 2 pounds of beef for every sausage. In view of your heavy investment in advertising Count Dracula Salami, you have decided that at least one third of the total production should be Count Dracula.
