In preparing for the upcoming holiday season, Fresh Toy Company (FTC) designed a new doll called The Dougie that teaches children how to dance. The fixed cost to produce the doll is $100,000. The variable cost, which includes material, labor, and shipping costs, is $32 per doll. During the holiday selling season, FTC will sell the dolls for $40 each. If FTC overproduces the dolls, the excess dolls will be sold in January through a distributor who has agreed to pay FTC $10 per doll. Demand for new toys during the holiday selling season is extremely uncertain. Forecasts are for expected sales of 60,000 dolls with a standard deviation of 15,000. The normal probability distribution is assumed to be a good description of the demand. FTC has tentatively decided to produce 60,000 units (the same as average demand), but it wants to conduct an analysis regarding this production quantity before finalizing the decision.

STL Furniture produces three types of chairs: A, B, C. These chairs sell for A-$1.250, B $800, C-$600, The general manager wants to determine how many chairs to build of each type during the next quarter. Model A requires 5 hours to build, while model b requires 4 hours and model C requires 3 hours, the company has 8000 labor hours available, and each hour of labor costs 75 dollars. In order to sell these chairs, the company has to pay a one-time licensing fee for the design which is different for each of the models: A-$125, B-$200, C-$100. In order to guarantee that there is enough variety available for customers, the company has decided to produce a minimum of 300 units for each model. Develop a linear model with binary variables that can be used to maximize the company's profit, correctly accounting for fixed costs and staying within resource availabilities. What is the profit for the optimal solution?
