Holon Candies, Inc. manufactures decorative candies and has contracted with a national retailer to supply a set of special holiday candies totaling 8,500 units. The candies come in three forms: large jars, small jars, and packages of four votive candles. In negotiating the contract, the manufacturer and retailer agreed that at least 2 feet would be dedicated to large jars and large pillars together, and at least 1 foot to the votive candle packages. At least as many jars as pillars must be provided. The manufacturer has used 200,000 pounds of wax, 250,000 feet of wick, and 100,000 ounces of holiday fragrance. The amounts of materials and displays required for each product are shown in the accompanying table. How many of each product should be made to maximize profit?
