Your hospital admits a certain kind of hernia patients everyday except Sunday. The hospital has 1,000 beds. Assume a constant level of daily admittance and an average stay of four days:

1) What is the maximum number of patients the hospital can handle in one week?

2) The company is considering undertaking a new kind of hernia operation, which requires an average stay of five days. If the profit margin of the new hernia operation is $150, should the hospital perform the new kind of hernia operation (assume that the four-day hernia operation has a profit margin of $100)?
