(c) Calculate the maximum profit that could be achieved from the plan in part (b) above.
(d) Having carried out an investigation of the availability of installation labour, the firm thinks that by offering £12 per hour, additional installation labour would become available and thus overcome the labour shortage.
Requirement:
Based on the results obtained above, advise the firm whether or not to implement this proposal.
