A company has the facility to produce power amplifiers and preamplifiers. The resources are limited and the company should produce the appropriate number of power and pre amplifiers in order to maximize the profit from these products. The power amplifier fetches a profit of RS. 400 per unit and pre-amplifier fetches a profit of Rs. 1000 per unit. At the most 80 preamplifiers can be manufactured in a day. There are 480 hours of assembly time available each day. Furthermore, each power amplifier requires 2.4 hours for assembly and each Pre-amplifier requires 8 hrs. Finally there 162 work-hrs available for inspection and testing each day and it requires 1 work-hr for power-amp and 2 work-hr for pre-amp respectively.
