Flash Electronics Company produces a variety of electronic equipment. One of the plants produces two laser printers: the deluxe and the regular. The demand for the printers is $1,000$ units of the deluxe and $2,000$ units of the regular. The deluxe printer is priced at $$900$ and the regular printer is priced at $$750.$ The materials cost is $$540$ for the deluxe printer and $$420$ for the regular printer. In addition, the company has the following information for the four manufacturing processes $($setups$,$ machining, engineering, and packing$)$ showing the amount of time $($in minutes$)$ required for each printer for each process, and the total minutes of time available for each process.
