Problem 22S-6 (Algo) (16th edition)

For the four basic configurations that follow, assume that the market is demanding product that must be processed by both Resource X and Resource Y for Cases I, II, and III. For Case IV, both resources supply separate but dependent markets; that is, the number of units of output from both X and Y must be equal.

Plans are being made to produce a product that requires 48 minutes on Resource X and 24 minutes on Resource Y. Assume that there is only one of each of these resources and that market demand is 1,850 units per month.
