Answer 1

The objective function is to maximize profit by producing beds and desks. The equation for the objective function is p = 15b + 20d.

Step-by-step explanation:

The objective function in this scenario is to maximize profit. Since beds generate $15 of profit per unit and desks generate $20 of profit per unit, the objective function can be represented as:

p = 15b + 20d

where 'p' represents the total profit, 'b' represents the number of beds produced, and 'd' represents the number of desks produced.
