Waterways packages some of its products into sets for home installations. One set (small) sells for $75 with variable costs of production for the set at $51. Another set (large) sells for $149 with variable costs of $101. The parts for the $75 set take 8 machine hours to produce. The parts for the $149 set take 20 machine hours to produce.
Given the information above, and assuming all of the package sets produced can be sold each month, illustrate the best use of machine-hours. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e. g. 5.25.)

An employer who is considering hiring eva has asked donna, eva’s former supervisor, for a report on eva. in truth, eva’s work for donna has been only average. however, eva is donna’s friend, and donna knows that eva probably will not get the job if she says anything negative about eva, and donna knows that eva desperately needs the job. further, donna knows that if the situation were reversed, she would not want eva to mention her deficiencies. nevertheless, it has been donna’s policy to reveal the deficiencies of employees when she has been asked for references by employers, and she knows that some of eva’s faults may be bothersome to this particular employer. finally, this employer has leveled with donna in the past when donna has asked for a report on people who have worked for him. should donna reveal deficiencies in eva’s past performance? (remember to use one of the three moral theories acceptable for this test to solve this dilemma. any discussion of any personal opinion, religious perspective, or theory other than the moral theories acceptable for this test will result in a score of "0" for this question.)
