Let:
A= aircon
LF= large fan
Constraints:
Wiring time must not exceed to 240 hrs on the next period of production.
Drilling time must not exceed to 140 hrs on the next period of production.
Subject to:
1) 3A+2LF <= 240
2) 2A+LF <= 140
A, LF >= 0
Z=maximize= 25A + 15LF
By elimination:
2 [3A+2LF=240] 2
3 [2A+LF=140] 3

By substitution:
3A+2(60)=240
3A= 240-120

6A+4LF=480
6A+3LF=420
LF=60

3A=120 = 40

A=40

Z=25(40) + 15(60)=$1,900
Optimal solution: 40 air conditioners and 60 fans
