A small factory manufactures an article that comes in two models, deluxe and original. The factory makes use of five schooled and ten unschooled labourers.
To make one deluxe model, takes two hours for a schooled labourer and two hours for an unschooled labourer. To make an original model takes one hour for a schooled labourer and three hours for an unschooled labourer. No worker is allowed to work more than eight hours per day.
The profit on a deluxe model and an original model is N$50 and N$40 respectively.
