Instructions

Abdul has 8 factories, with different capacities, producing boutique kurtas. In the production process, he incurs raw material cost, selling cost (for packaging and transportation) and labour cost. These costs per kurta vary across factories. In all these factories, a worker takes 2 hours to produce a kurta. Profit per kurta is calculated by deducting raw material cost, selling cost and labour cost from the selling price (Profit = selling price - raw materials cost - selling cost - labour cost). Any other cost can be ignored.

for factory 4,Ā  Ā  5500-800-68-450*2Ā = 3732

for factory 5,Ā  Ā  5400-600-75-600*2Ā = 3525

for factory 6,Ā  Ā  6000-875-65-400*2 = 4260

for factory 7,Ā  Ā  4900-500-85-350*2 = 3615
