Step 1
Product A: Sales Price: R30 Raw Material Cost: R20 Gross Profit per Unit: R30 - R20 = R10 Product B: Sales Price: R32 Raw Material Cost: R28 Gross Profit per Unit: R32 - R28 = R4 Show more…

Maximizing Profit A firm makes $x$ units of product A and $y$ units of product $B$ and has a production possibilities curve given by the equation $4 x^{2}+25 y^{2}=50,000$ for $x \geq 0, y \geq 0$ (See Exercise 23.) Suppose profits are $\$ 2$ per unit for product A and $\$ 10$ per unit for product B. Find the production schedule that maximizes the total profit.
