The other product requires 1/3 of an hour of assembly work per unit, 1/3 of an hour in
quality control work and Rs 0.9 in raw materials. Given the current availability of staff in the
company, each day there is at most a total of 90 hours available for assembly and 80 hours
for quality control. The first product described has a market value (sale price) of Rs 9 per
unit and the second product described has a market value (sale price) of Rs 8 per unit. In
addition, the maximum amount of daily sales for the first product is estimated to be 200
units, without there being a maximum limit of daily sales for the second product.
