Starbucks needs to decide how many muffins and how many croissants to produce each day. The profit per muffin is $1 and the profit per croissant is $0.5. On an average, each muffin takes 2 minutes of labor time and 1.5 minutes of oven time (of course, they are usually produced in batches. For simplification I have given you the time per piece). Croissants take 3 minutes of labor time and 2 minutes of oven time. Starbucks can have its labor dedicated for a maximum of 3 hours every day. The oven time is limited to 8 hours during the night.

Choosing wrong answers will incur negative marking)
