A farmer has 100 acres which he can plant corn or oats. Each acre of oats requires $18 capital and 6hrs. of labor. Labor is $8/hr. The farmer has $2100 for capital and $2400 for labor. If the revenue is $55 from each acre of oats and $125 from each acre of corn, what planting combinaton will produce the greatest total profit? List combination and the profit. </SPAN>\n" );
