It costs $150 to manufacture a car frame and $200 to manufacture a truck frame at the Milwaukee plant. The Racine plant has a daily operating budget of $35,000, and can produce a maximum combined total of 200 frames daily. It costs $135 to manufacture a car frame and $180 to manufacture a truck frame at the Racine plant. Based on past demand, the company wants to limit production to a maximum of 250 car frames and 350 truck frames per day. If the company realizes a profit of $50 on each car frame and $70 on each truck frame, how many frames of each type should be produced at each plant to maximize the daily profit?
