Chapter 16, Problem 26P

(a) A computer equipment manufacture rproduces scanners and printers. The resources needed for producing these devices and the corresponding profits are

Device	Capital ($/unit)	Labor (hr/unit)	Profit ($/unit)
Scanner	300	20	500
Printer	400	10	400

If the reare$127,000 worth of capital and 4270 hr oflabor available each day, how many of each device should be produced per day to maximize profit?

(b) Repeat the problem, but now assume that the profit for each printer sold $p_p$ depends on the number of printers produced $X_p$, as in

$P_p=400-X_p$
