Production Scheduling In a factory, machine 1 produces 8-inch (in.) pliers at the rate of 60 units per hour (h) and 6-in. pliers at the rate of 70 units/h. Machine 2 produces 8-in. pliers at the rate of 40 units/h and 6-in. pliers at the rate of 20 units/h. It costs to operate machine 1, and machine 2 costs to operate. The production schedule requires that at least 240 units of 8-in. pliers and at least 140 units of 6-in. pliers be produced during each 10-h day. Which combination of machines will cost the least money to operate?
