A manufacturing company makes two types of water skis, a trick ski and a slalom ski. The relevant manufacturing data are given in the table. Labor-Hours per Ski Department Fabricating Finishing Trick Ski 8 1 Slalom Ski 6 1 Maximum Labor-Hours Available per Day 456 72 Answer parts (A), (B), and (C) below. (A) If the profit on a trick ski is $30 and the profit on a slalom ski is $40, how many of each type of ski should be manufactured each day to realize a maximum profit? What is the maximum profit? The maximum profit is $ 2880. The maximum occurs when 0 trick skis and 72 slalom skis are produced. (B) Discuss the effect on the production schedule and the maximum profit if the profit on a slalom ski decreases to $25. The maximum profit ? $ . The maximum occurs when trick skis and slalom skis are produced.

Step 1
To calculate the new maximum profit, we need to multiply the profit per slalom ski by the number of slalom skis produced at the maximum profit point. Profit per slalom ski = $25 Number of slalom skis produced at maximum profit = 72 New maximum profit = $25 * 72 = Show more…

A manufacturing company makes two types of water skis, a trick ski and a slalom ski. The relevant manufacturing data are given in the table. (A) If the profit on a trick ski is $40$ and the profit on a slalom ski is $30,$ how many of each type of ski should be manufactured each day to realize a maximum profit? What is the maximum profit? (B) Discuss the effect on the production schedule and the maximum profit if the profit on a slalom ski decreases to $25$ and all other data remains the same. (C) Discuss the effect on the production schedule and the maximum profit if the profit on a slalom ski increases to $45$ and all other data remain the same. (TABLE CANNOT COPY)
