A fruit grower has two systems for picking crops. In the first system, the pickers work individually and, because of their selectivity and care, this method yields more choice produce than regular produce. In the second system, four pickers work with a machine; while this method has a greater harvest, it yields less choice produce than regular produce and costs proportionately more due to the amounts of input and output for 1 hr of operating expense of the machine. The ration of each system are given in the following table:
Input (workers hours) Output(bu) Cost($)
Choice Regular
System 1 1 4 2 2
System 2 4 20 40 11
Required:
