Spencer Motors sells automobiles and trucks. The firm makes a $280 profit for each automobile it sells and a $375 profit for each truck it sells. The company is planning next quarter's order. The manufacturer says Spencer cannot order more than 300 trucks. They also limit the number of autos Spencer can order to a maximum of 400. Spencer requires 1.50 hours to prepare each auto and 3 hours to prepare each truck before it can be sold. Next quarter, the company will have 1500 hours of shop time available for preparation of new vehicles.
