The Attaran Corporation manufactures two electrical​ products: portable air conditioners and portable heaters. The assembly process for each is similar in that both require a certain amount of wiring and drilling. Each air conditioner takes 3 hours of wiring and 2 hours of drilling. Each heater must go through 2 hours of wiring and 1 hour of drilling. During the next production​ period, 240 hours of wiring time are available and up to 140 hours of drilling time may be used. Each air conditioner sold yields a profit of ​$20. Each heater assembled may be sold for a ​$13 profit. The aim of the objective function for Attaran Corporation should be to Maximize the objective value. The optimum solution​ is: Number of air conditioners to be produced​ = nothing ​(round your response to two decimal​ places).
