Foo Enterprises produces specialty furniture for financial institutions. At the moment there is a high demand for two models of desks. The first model requires 15 hours of labour and 10 feet of wood to produce while 10 hours of labour and 15 feet of wood are needed to produce the second model. In planning the current week's production, the manager has 60 hours of labour and 60 feet of wood available. The net profit for the company is $25 for the first model and $30 for the second model. The company wants to produce quantities of the two models that will maximise profits. Use the simplex method to solve this linear programming problem.

Bella bakes delicious cookies. Her total fixed cost is $48 a day, and her average variable cost is $1.20 a bag. Few people know about Bella's Cookies, and she is maximizing her profit by selling 12 bags a day for $5.50 a bag. Bella thinks that if she spends $60 a day on advertising, she can increase her market share and sell 30 bags a day for $5.50 a bag. If Bella advertises, will her average total cost increase or decrease at the quantity produced?
Kane Manufacturing has a division that produces two models of grates, model A and model B. To produce each model A grate requires 3 pounds of cast iron and 6 minutes of labor. To produce each model B grate requires 4 pounds of cast iron and 3 minutes of labor. The profit for each model A grate is $1.75, and the profit for each model B grate is $1.25. Available for grate production each day are 1000 pounds of cast iron and 20 labor-hours. Because of an excess inventory of model A grates, management has decided to limit the production of model A grates to no more than 180 grates per day.
