The seasonal yield of olives in Piraeus, Greece, vineyard is greatly influenced by the process of branch pruning. If olive trees are pruned every two weeks, output is increased. The pruning process, however, requires considerably more labor than permitting the olives to grow on their own and results in a smaller olive size. It also, though permits olive trees to be spaced closer together. The yield of one barrel of olives by pruning requires 5 hours of labor and one acre of land. An olive grower has 250 hours of labor available and a total of 150 acres for growing. Because of the olive size difference, a barrel of olives produced on prune trees shows a profit of $20, whereas a barrel of regular olives should be produced (hint: 1 pruned <=40)
