$E$18 Corn d3- 0 0 Contin

$E$19 Sugar d4- 0 10 Contin
Answer: William will be producing such that he has 7 hours to work with, that is he is using 7 hours fewer than his 72 hour maximum. The mix he is producing results in falling short of his $550 hoped-for income by $30. William has 10 pounds of sugar left over from the 70 pounds he started the production run with. William is using all the corn he had on hand — all 40 bushels.
