A manufacturer of three models of tote bag must determine the production plan for the next quarter. The specifics for each model are shown in the following table.

Model	Revenue ($ per item)	Cutting (hours per item)	Sewing (hours per item)	Packing (hours per item)
A	$8.75	.10	.15	.20
B	$10.50	.15	.12	.20
C	$11.50	.20	.18	.20

Time available in the three production departments are: Cutting 450 hours, Sewing 550 hours, Packing 450 hours.

Based on market research, the company wants to make at least 300 model A’s, at least 400 model B’s and at least 250 model C’s but no more than 1200 of any one model

Costs in each department are: Cutting $11.00 per hour, Sewing $12.50 per hour, Packing $9.25 per hour
