RFC Company manufactures two types of lamps: a special lamp and a regular lamp.

Each special lamp requires 4 bounds

lamp requires 8 pound of brass. During each production period, the company's brass supply is limited to 640 pounds. E
requires 6 hours of milling time in the machines and each regular lamp requires 2 hours of milling time in the machines
machines are available only for 360 hours in each production period. Each special lamp requires 5 light bulbs that must b
Hongkong. The importation of these bulbs is limited to 200 units. The contribution to the profit of each special lamp is P
the regular lamp. How many units of the special lamp and the regular lamp should be produced per production perio
maximize the profit?
