An auto company manufactures cars and trucks. Each vehicle must be processed in the paint shop and body assembly shop. If the paint shop were only painting trucks, then 40 per day could be painted. If the paint shop were only painting cars, then 60 per day could be painted. If the body shop were only producing cars, then it could process 50 per day. If the body shop were only producing trucks, then it could process 50 per day. Each truck contributes $300 to profit, and each car contributes $200 to profit. Use linear program- ming to determine a daily production schedule that will maximize the company's profits.
