Determining the Optimal Product Mix with One Constrained Resource
Comfy Fit Company manufactures two types of university sweatshirts, the Swoop and the Rufus, with unit contribution margins of $11 and $15, respectively.

The firm leases seven machines that each provides 1,000 hours of machine time per year.
