Upon retirement,Mr.Klaws started to make two types of children's wooden toys in his shop.Wuns yield a variable profit of $8 each,and Toos have a contribution margin of $9 each.Even though his electric saw overheats,he can make 7 Wuns or 14 Toos each day.Since he doesn't have equipment for drying the lacquer finish he puts on the toys,the drying operation limits him to 16 Wuns or 8 Toos per day.The final tableau for Mr.Klaws' problem would be: Upon retirement,Mr.Klaws started to make two types of children's wooden toys in his shop.Wuns yield a variable profit of $8 each,and Toos have a contribution margin of $9 each.Even though his electric saw overheats,he can make 7 Wuns or 14 Toos each day.Since he doesn't have equipment for drying the lacquer finish he puts on the toys,the drying operation limits him to 16 Wuns or 8 Toos per day.The final tableau for Mr.Klaws' problem would be:   (a)What would the value be of an additional unit of constraint #1?
