The Fresh Turkey Company produces two types of turkey cutlets for sale to fast-food restaurants. Each type of cutlet consists of white meat and dark meat. Cutlet 1 sells for $2.79 per pound and must consist of at least 70% white meat. Cutlet 2 sells for $1.89 per pound and must consist of at least 60% white meat. At most, 10,000 pounds of cutlet 1 and 4000 pounds of cutlet 2 can be sold. The two types of turkey used to manufacture the cutlets are purchased from a turkey farm. Each type 1 turkey costs $8.99 and yields six pounds of white meat and two pounds of dark meat. Each type 2 turkey costs $5.99 and yields three pounds of white meat and three pounds of dark meat. Determine how to maximize Fresh Turkey’s profit.
