The total machine hours available in the next year are limited to 12,000 hours due to major maintenance work that needs to be carried out every 5 years on some machines. The production manager has indicated that it is not possible to meet the total demand for the three toys due to this reduction in the available machine hours. The managing director has asked you to decide on the product mix for the next year to maximise the profits from the available machine hours.
