Question 1099865: A manufacturer of golf clubs makes a profit of $40 per set on a model A set and $60 per set on a model B set. Daily production of the model A clubs is between 20 and 60 sets, inclusive, and that of the model B clubs is between 10 and 40 sets, inclusive. The total daily production is not to exceed 60 sets. How many sets of each model should be manufactured per day to maximize the profit?

I would guess that this is supposed to be a problem in linear programming, to be solved by the standard methods.

However, this problem is trivial. With the given constraints, it is obvious that you want to manufacture as many as possible of model set B. Since the maximum production of model set B is 40, you want to produce 20 of model set A and 40 of model set B.
