Captain John’s Yachts, Inc., located in Fort Lauderdale,Florida, rents three types of ocean-going boats: sailboats, cabincruisers, and Captain John’s favorite, the luxury yachts. CaptainJohn advertises his boats with his famous “you rent—we pilot”slogan, which means that the company supplies the captain and crewfor each rented boat. Each rented boat has one captain, of course,but the crew sizes (deck hands, galley hands, etc.) differ. Thecrew requirements, in addition to a captain, are one for sailboats,two for cabin cruisers, and three for yachts. Ten employees arecaptains, and an additional 18 employees fill the various crewpositions. Currently, Captain John has rental requests for all hisboats: four sailboats, eight cabin cruisers, and three luxuryyachts. If Captain John’s daily profit contribution is $50 forsailboats, $70 for cruisers, and $100 for luxury yachts, how manyboats of each type should he rent? Prepare and solve.
