For each unit of device B it takes7 hours to create the components, 4 hours to assemble the device, and 1 hour for finishing for a profit of $3648.  Each day there are 182 hours available for the construction of the components, 122 hours available for the assembly of the devices, and 68 hours available for the finishing of the devices.
