Eli Safe Ltd produces two products 1 and 2. They are produced on machines A and B, which have annual capacity of 60,000 units and 40,000 units respectively. We will define the number of products made each year as X1 and X2.

Demand for each of the two products is given by the following expressions where P1 and P2 are the prices for product 1 and 2 respectively: X1 = 15,000 – 500P1 X2 = 30,000 – 750P2
