A computer retail store sells two types of flat screen monitors: 22 inches and 25 inches, with a profit contribution of $300 and $250, respectively. The monitors are ordered each week from an outside supplier.
As an added feature, the retail store installs on each monitor a privacy filter that narrows the viewing angle so that only persons sitting directly in front of the monitor are able to see on-screen data. Each 25" monitor consumes about 30 minutes of installation time, while each 22" monitor requires about 10 minutes of installation time.
