1. The production manager for Beer Etc. produces 2 kinds of beer: light (L) and dark(D). Two resources used to produce beer are malt and wheat. He can obtain at most 4800 oz of malt per week and at most 3200 oz of wheat per week respectively. Each bottle of light beer requires 12 oz of malt and 4 oz of wheat, while a bottle of dark beer uses 8 oz of malt and 8 oz of wheat. Profits for light beer are $2 per bottle, and profits for dark beer are $1 per bottle. What is the objective function?
Z = $1L + $2D
Z = $4L + $8D
Z = $12L + $8D
Z = $2L + $1D
Z = 12 lbs + 4 lbs
