            It is easy to solve using your common sense and a bit of logical reasoning.



<pre>
The time of 8 hours is the same to assembly a chain saw OR two wood clippers.


But the profit is DIFFERENT:  $150 for a chain saw against 2*$230 = $460 for a pair of wood chippers.



THEREFORE, it is clear that the maximum profit will be attained by producing wood chippers ONLY:


    assembling  {{{96/8}}} = 12 wood chippers  will provide the maximum profit of  12 * $230 = 2760  dollars.    <U>ANSWER</U>
