Glow Corp. manufactures and assembles light fixtures. The fixtures consist of 4 components: a mounting panel, a cosmetic ring, receptacles for the light bulbs, and a glass globe. The receptacles must be purchased, but the other components could be produced in-house. Glow must produce 8,000 fixtures in the next month. The in-house production facilities are limited, so some of the components may have to be purchased, rather than made in-house. The costs (in dollars) of manufacturing and purchasing the components are as follows:

                        Manufacture Purchase

          Mounting Panel         6          8

          Cosmetic Ring         4          7

          Glass Globe           18         23

The time in hours required to make each component in each of 3 departments is as follows:

                                Department

                             A      B      C

                                         ______________________________

          Mounting Panel     .2    .1     0

          Cosmetic Ring     .3    0     .05

          Glass Globe         0    .1    .4
