Given an objective function to maximize profit P = 50x + 40y, and the feasible corner points are (0,0), (10,0), (0,15), and (5,10). What is the maximum possible profit?

Reveal answer & explanation
Correct answer: C) 650
Explanation
Test each corner point in the objective function: P(10,0) = 500. P(0,15) = 40(15) = 600. P(5,10) = 50(5) + 40(10) = 250 + 400 = 650. The maximum profit is 650.
