Your small farm encompasses 130 acres, and you are planning to grow tomatoes, lettuce, and carrots in the coming planting season. Fertilizer costs per acre are: $5 for tomatoes, $4 for lettuce, and $2 for carrots. Based on past experience, you estimate that each acre of tomatoes will require an average of 4 hours of labor per week, while tending to lettuce and carrots will each require an average of 2 hours per week. You estimate a profit of $3,000 for each acre of tomatoes, $1,400 for each acre of lettuce and $400 for each acre of carrots. You would like to spend at least $520 on fertilizer (your niece owns the company that manufactures it) and your farm laborers can supply up to 650 hours per week. How many acres of each crop should you plant to maximize total profits?

A toy factory creates miniature steel train engines and box cars. The fabrication department has 3,679 minutes available per week and the assembly and finishing department has 3,099 minutes available per week. Manufacturing one miniature steel train engine requires 8 minutes of fabrication and 5 minutes of assembling and finishing. Manufacturing one miniature steel box car requires 4 minutes of fabrication and 5 minutes of assembling and finishing. The profit on each miniature steel train engine is $8.00 and the profit on each miniature steel box car is $7.25. How many steel train engines and steel box cars should be produced each week to obtain the maximum profit? Find the maximum weekly profit. (Use x for box car and y for train engine.)

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.
