A company wants to determine how many units of each of two products, A and B, they should produce. The profit on product A is $50 and the profit on product B is $45. Applying linear programming to this problem, which of the following is the objective function if the firm wants to make as much money as possible?
HINT: Maximize Z where Z will be equal to $50 times the number of product A units produced PLUS $45 times the number of product B units produced. Since we want to make as much money as possible, we would like that mix of A and B that will let Z be as large as possible.
