- Inventories An electronics store manager stocks from 20 to 30 IBM-compatible computers and from 30 to 50 Apple computers. There is room in the store to stock up to 60 computers. The manager receives a commission of 50 on the sale of each IBM-compatible computer and 40 on the sale of each Apple computer. If the manager can sell all of the computers, how many should she stock to maximize her commissions? Find the maximum commission.

On average, Chase must work 3 hours and Devin 2 hours to make a chair. Chase must work 2 hours and Devin 6 hours to make a table. If neither wishes to work more than 42 hours per week, how many tables and how many chairs should they make each week to maximize their income? Find the maximum income.

An accountant prepares tax returns for individuals and for small businesses. On average, each individual return requires 3 hours of her time and 1 hour of computer time. Each business return requires 4 hours of her time and 2 hours of computer time. Because of other business considerations, her time is limited to 240 hours, and the computer time is limited to 100 hours. If she earns a profit of 80 on each individual return and a profit of 150 on each business return, how many returns of each type should she prepare to maximize her profit?arrow_forward
