Question

Mason Milling grinds calcined alumina to a standard granular size. The mill produces two different size products from the same raw material. Regular Grind can be produced at a rate of 10,000 pounds per hour and has a demand of 400 tons per week with a price per ton of $900. Super Grind can be produced at a rate of 6,000 pounds per hour and has a demand 200 tons per week with a price of $1,900 per ton. A minimum of 700 tons has to be ground every week to make room in the raw material storage bins for previously purchased incoming raw material by rail. The mill operates 24/7 for a total of 168 hours/week. How many tons of each product must be produced each week to maximize revenue? (hint: be careful with units in this problem, ton, ton per week, ton per hour).
