The production planner for a private label soft drink maker is planning the production of two soft drinks: root beer (R) and sassafras soda (S). Two resources are constrained: production time (T), of which she has at most 12 hours per day; and carbonated water (W), of which she can get at most 1500 gallons per day. A case of root beer requires 2 minutes of time and 5 gallons of water to produce, while a case of sassafras soda requires 3 minutes of time and 5 gallons of water. Profits for the root beer are $6.00 per case, and profits for the sassafras soda are $4.00 per case. What is the objective function? a. $2R + $3S = Z.
b. $5R + $5S = Z.
c. $3R + $2S = Z.
d. $4R + $6S = Z.
What are optimal daily profits?
