can be made daily. To satisfy a shipping contract, a total of at least 200
calculators must be shipped each day. If each if scientific calculator sold
results in 2000/= loss and each graphic calculator produces 5000/= profit. How
many of each type should be made daily to maximize net profit. What is the
maximum profit per day?
