A bicycle component manufacturer produces hubs for bike wheels. Two processes are possible for manufacturing, and the parameters of each process are as follows: Process 1 Process 2 35 parts/hour 4 hours/ day 15 parts/ hour 7 hours/ day 20% 9% Production rate Daily production time Percent of parts rejeted based on visual inspection Assume that the daily demand for hubs allows all defect-free hubs to be sold. Additionally, tested or rejected hubs cannot be sold. Find the process that maximizes profit per day if each part is made from Phn 200 worth of material and can be sold for Php 1.500.
