The оperаtiоns mаnаger fоr the Amazing Juice Co. produces two juices: Regular (R) and Lite (L). Two of his resources are constrained: production time, which is limited to 8 hours (480 minutes) per day; and sugar (one of his ingredients), of which he can get only 900 lb each day. To produce a container of Regular juice requires 1 minute of time and 3 lb of sugar, while each container of Lite juice needs 2 minutes of time and 1 lb of sugar. Profits for Regular juice are $2 per container, and profits for Lite juice are $5 per container. Assume R and L are the number of regular and lite containers of juice to produce respectively. Answer the following based on a Linear Programming (LP) formulation of the problem. What is the objective function to maximize?
