The XYZ Company, a company with only three employees, makes two different kinds of hand-crafted doors: a wood-framed and an aluminum-framed door. The company earns $30 profit for each wood-framed door and $15 profit for each aluminum-framed door. Doug makes the wood frames and can make 60 per day. Linda makes the aluminum frames and can make 40 per day. Bob forms and cuts the glass and can make 480 square feet of glass per day. Each wood-framed door uses 6 square feet of glass and each aluminum-framed door uses 8 square feet of glass. The company wishes to determine how many doors of each type to produce per day to maximize total profit.
