Imagine that you are managing a factory that is building three products: TV sets, CD Players and Bluetooth Speakers. Each product is assembled from parts in inventory, and there are four types of parts: LED Screens, speaker cones, power supplies and electronics units. The required parts (and quantities) for each product is listed in the following table:

Part Name / Product Usage	TV	CD Player	Bluetooth Speaker	Units in Inventory	Cost Per Unit
LED Screen	1	0	0	250	$ 51.20
Speaker Cone	2	2	1	600	$ 23.20
Power Supply	1	1	0	450	$ 5.90
Electronics	2	1	1	600	$ 3.60

For Example, to assemble a TV you need 1 LED Screen, 2 Speaker Cones, 1 Power Supply and 2 Electronics.

There are three Departments that are used in the production process. The departments and time available in each department is listed in the following table:

Department	TV	CD Player	Bluetooth Speaker	Time Available (hours)	Cost Per Hour
Assembly Time	0.45	0.5	0.4	200	$ 14
Inspection/Testing	0.5	0.4	0.4	150	$ 14
Packaging	0.1	0.15	0.2	60	$ 10

For example, a TV requires .45 hours in the Assembly Department, .5 hours in the Inspection/Testing Department and .1 hours in the Packaging Department.

The selling price of a TV is $200, a CD Player is $120 and a Bluetooth Speaker is $75.

Your goal is to determine how many TVs, CD Players and Bluetooth Speakers to produce that will Maximize Total Profit, given the inventory of products on hand and the time available in each department.

Building a new factory to produce 50- and 60-inch TV screens can cost $4 billion. But for more than ten years, manufacturers of these screens have continued to build new plants. By building so many plants, they have expanded productive capacity at a rate that has exceeded the demand for big-screen TVs. In fact, during one recent year, the supply of big-screen TVs was estimated to exceed demand by 12%, rising to 16% in the future. One state-of-the-art plant built...
