Question

Mile-High Microbrewery makes a light beer and a dark beer. Mile-High has a
limited supply of barley, limited bottling capacity, and a limited market for light beer. Profits are $0.20 per bottle of light beer and $0.50 per bottle of dark beer.

 

a. The following table shows resource availability of products at the Mile-
High Microbrewery. Use the graphic method of linear programming to
maximize profits. How many bottles of each product should be produced
per month?
