\r\n" );
document.write( "The time of 42 hours is the same to assembly  6 chain saws  OR  7 wood clippers.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "But the profit is DIFFERENT:  6 * $190 = 1140  for 6 chain saws against 7 * $250 = $1750 for  7 wood chippers.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );

document.write( "Next, take into account that 126 hours is a multiple of 42 hours.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "THEREFORE, it is clear that the maximum profit will be attained by producing wood chippers ONLY:\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    assembling   = 21 wood chippers  will provide the maximum profit of  21 * $250 = 5250  dollars.    ANSWER\r\n" );
