Sklenka Ski Company (SSC) is a small manufacturer of two types of popular all-terrain snow skis, the Jordanelle and the Deercrest models. The manufacturing process consists of two principal departments: fabrication and finishing. The fabrication department has 12 skilled workers, each of whom works 7 hours per day. The finishing department has 3 workers, who also work a 7-hour shift. Each pair of Jordanelle skis requires 3.5 labor-hours in the fabricating department and 1 labor-hour in finishing. The Deercrest model requires 4 labor-hours in fabricating and 1.5 labor-hours in finishing. The company operates 5 days a week. SSC makes a net profit of $50 on the Jordanelle model and $65 on the Deercrest model. In anticipation of the next ski-sale season, SSC must plan its production of these two models. Because of the popularity of its products and limited production capacity, its products are in high demand, and SSC can sell all it can produce each season. The company projects the number of Deercrest skis sold to be at least twice the number of Jordanelle skis sold. The company wants to determine how many of each model should be produced on a daily basis to maximize net profit.
