GFC produces cases (5,000 units per case) of two sizes of glow sticks, a 6-inch model and a 4-inch model. The requirements to produce each case of glow stick are as follows:

Required Material	4 Inch Model per Case	6 Inch Model per Case	Available Units (in tons)
Soft Plastic	300	400	36000
Color	500	400	40000
Hard plastic	500	200	30000

The revenue for each case of glowstick (no matter the model size) is $1000 per case. However, because of the size difference, the cost of a 6-inch case is $800.00 and the cost of a 4-inch case is 25% less than the 6-inch cost. In addition, the production budget is $1,034,423.

As the GFC Assistant Production Manager and must now formulate and solve this profit maximization production dilemma.
