Precision Machinists makes two grades of gears for industrial machinery: standard and heavy duty. The process requires two steps. Step-1 takes 8 minutes for the standard gear and 10 minutes for the heavy duty. Step-2 takes 3 minutes for the standard gear and 10 minutes for the heavy duty. The company’s labor contract requires that it uses at most 200 labor-hours per week on the Step-1 equipment and at most 140 labor-hours per week on the Step-2 equipment. The profit contributions are $15 for each standard gear and $22 for each heavy duty. How many of each gear should be made each week to maximize profits? Find the optimal solution using the graphical solution technique.

The year is 2278, and the starship enterprise is running low on dilithium crystals, which are used to regulate the matter-antimatter reactions that propel the ship across the universe. without the crystals, space-time travel is not possible. if there is only one known source of dilithium crystals, the necessary conditions for a monopoly are met. part 2 (1 point)see hint if the crystals are government owned or government regulated, and the government wants to create the greatest welfare for society, then it should set the price choose one or more: a. so only the rich can afford space-time travel. b. at the profit-maximizing price. c. at the efficient price. d. using the marginal-cost pricing rule. e. so everyone can afford space-time travel. f. at the monopoly price.
