PROBLEM
The seasonal yield of olives in a Piraeus, Greece, vineyard is greatly influenced
by a process of branch pruning. If olive trees are pruned every two weeks,
output is increased. The pruning process, however, requires considerably more
labor than permitting the olives to grow on their own and results in a smaller
size olive. It also, though, permits olive trees to be spaced closer together. The
yield of 1 barrel of olives by pruning requires 5 hours of labor and I acre of
land. The production of a barrel of olives by the normal process requires only 2
labor hours but takes 2 acres of land. An olive grower has 250 hours of labor
available and a total of 150 acres for growing. Because of the olive size
difference, a barrel of olives produced on pruned trees sells for $20, whereas a
barrel of regular olives has a market price of $30. The grower has determined
that because of uncertain demand, no more than 40 barrels of pruned olives
should be produced.
