The Lancaster Brewery has to decide the number of barrels of the two types of beer, Lancaster Blonde and Lancaster Red, it should produce for its next shipment. It has a limited supply of ingredients that are used in both products. Each barrel of Lancaster Blonde requires 20 lbs. of corn, 2 ozs. of hops, 10 lbs. of malt, and yields $20 of profit. The company has 500 lbs. of corn, 60 ozs of hops, and 900 lbs. of malt on hand. Management wishes to determine the amount of Blonde and Red produce to maximize profits.
