Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The production data only provides the number of hours required per unit for each type of shoe. It does not give any information about the demand or pricing for each type of shoe. Therefore, it is not possible to use linear programming to calculate the maximum profit based solely on this production data. The expression $16R + $20S may be a possible profit function, but it cannot be confirmed without additional information about market demand and pricing for the shoes.
