A fruit grower has 150 acres of land
for raising crops A and B. The profit is $185 per acre for
crop A and $245 per acre for crop B. Research and
available resources indicate the following constraints.
(a) It takes 1 day to trim an acre of crop A and 2 days
to trim an acre of crop B, and there are 240 days per
year available for trimming.
(b) It takes 0.3 day to pick an acre of crop A and 0.1 day
to pick an acre of crop B, and there are 30 days per
year available for picking.
What is the optimal acreage for each fruit? What is the
optimal profit?
