Question

Biggio’s Department Store has six employees available to assign to four departments in the
store—home furnishings, china, appliances, and jewelry. Most of the six employees have
worked in each of the four departments on several occasions in the past and have demonstrated
that they perform better in some departments than in others. The average daily sales
for each of the six employees in each of the four departments are shown in the following table: Employee 3 has not worked in the china department before, so the manager does not want to assign
this employee to china.
Determine which employee to assign to each department and indicate the total expected daily sales.
