Furniture is produced weekly and stored in a warehouse until the end of the week when it is shipped, however, the warehouse has limited capacity to store furniture. The warehouse can hold 600 pieces of table or chair, or 200 pieces of sofa (That is, a sofa takes up three times the space of a table or chair). Each sofa earns $400 in profit, each table $290, and each chair $180.

The company wants to know how many pieces of each type of furniture to make per week to maximize profits. Use Solver in Excel to find these values.
