The scenariois described below:Consider that you oFer six types of nails and can make as many as you need of each. Theseare:4-inch nails3.5-inch nails3-inch nails2.5-inch nails2-inch nails1.5-inch nailsThe cost of making each type of nail depends on the size of the nail. The costs and sellingprices are listed in the table below, along with the weights. The nails will be sold in boxes of upto 30. There must be no more than 10, but no less than ±ve, of each of three types of nails ineach box. The nails in each box should weigh no more than 20 ounces. You’re looking for thecombination with the highest pro±t using a trial-and-error method. A spreadsheet would behelpful for completing this project.
