Question

Furniture Companies produce office desks, regular tables, and chairs. Making each type of furniture requires wood and two types of skilled labor: finishing and carpentry. The amount of each resource required to craft each type of furniture is given in the table below. Currently available is 48 board feet of lumber, 20 hours of finishing, and 8 hours of carpentry. An office desk sells for $60, a regular desk for $30, and a chair for $20. Dakota believes that the demand for tables and chairs is unlimited, but that at most five tables can be sold. As available resources have been purchased, Dakota wants to maximize total revenue.
