"ordinary" design, one with a two-color "fancy" design, and one with a three-color "very fancy" design. The club feels
that it can sell up to 400 T-shirts. "Ordinary" T-shirts will cost the club $6 each, "fancy" T-shirts $8 each, and "very
fancy" T-shirts $10 each, and the club has a total purchasing budget of $4,000. It will sell "ordinary" T-shirts at a profit
of $4 each, "fancy" T-shirts at a profit of $5 each, and "very fancy" T-shirts at a profit of $4 each. How many of each
kind of T-shirt should the club order to maximize profit? What is the maximum profit the club can make?

Kalamazoo Blooming Nursery is a small company specializing in selling flowers. They
developed a new product called Flowers of the Month in which they would send a
customer a different flower arrangement every month. KBN charged $52 a month

estimate that their extra sales last year from this campaign was $80,000 on their
usual (baseline}sales of $450,000. From the campaign they acquired 43 subscribers

- The college graduates of 2000 could hardly have asked for better luck. The unemployment rate dropped to 4.1 % in May 2000- roughly, the lowest level in a generation- and employers were literally scrambling for new hires. Starting salaries rose, many graduating seniors had numerous job offers, and some firms even offered $10,000- $20,000 bonuses to students who signed the dotted line. Three years later, the job market for the Class of 2003 was rather different. U.S. economic growth had slowed to a crawl, and then to a halt. Companies that had stocked up on recent college grads in the tighter labour markets of 1998-2000 found themselves with more than they knew what to do with in 2002 and 2003. They were not eager to hire more. Bonuses and other “perks” disappeared; job offers became scarcer. With the unemployment rate around 6% in May and June of 2003, the job market was far from the worst ever. But it was nothing like the glory days of 2000.
