Howie Jones owns and operates Blue Ridge Hot Tubs, a company that sells two models of hot tubs: the Aqua-Spa and the Hydro-Lux. Howie purchases prefabricated fiberglass hot tub shells and installs common water pumps and the appropriate amount of tubing into each hot tub. Every Aqua-Spa requires a pump, 12 hours of labor and 16 feet of tubing; every Hydro-Lux requires 2 pumps, 16 hours of labor and 8 feet of tubing. Demand for these products is such that each Aqua-Spa produced can be sold to generate a profit of $275, and each Hydro-Lux produced can be sold to generate a profit of $250.
