Because of new federal regulations on pollution, a chemical plant introduced a new, more expensive process to supplement or replace an older process used in the production of a particular chemical. The older process emitted 40 grams
of sulfur dioxide and 120 grams of particulate matter into the atmosphere for each gallon of chemical produced. The new process emits 5 grams of sulfur dioxide and 40 grams of particulate matter for each gallon produced. The company
makes a profit of 80¢ per gallon and 20¢ per gallon on the old and new processes, respectively. Answer parts (A) through (C) below.
(A) If the government allows the plant to emit no more than 36,000 grams of sulfur dioxide and 90,000 grams of particulate matter daily, how many gallons of the chemical should be produced by each process to maximize daily profit? Wha
is the maximum daily profit? Summarize the model,

A Toot can be made in 30 minutes and has a feather attached to it. A Wheet requires 15 minutes, has two feathers, and is sprinkled with 0.5 oz of sequin powder. A Honk requires 30 minutes, has three feathers, and one oz. of sequin powder. The net profit is $0.40 per Toot, $0.50 per Wheet, and $0.80 per Honk. The following resources are available: 4800 minutes of labor, 360 feathers, and 90 oz. of sequin powder. Determine the quantity of each type of noisemaker that maximizes profit.

This is referred to as the product or service demand . As the price of a product or service increases, the demand usually decreases, and this drives the price down. Companies use the estimated demand to determine how much of a product or service they are willing to supply at different prices. As the price of a product or service increases, companies are willing to supply more of it because they will earn more money. If you graph the demand and the supply curves on the same xy-plane, they will sometimes intersect at the point where the price and the supply are in equilibrium. Consider the scenario below.
