The production planner for Fine Coffees, Inc. produces two coffee blends: American (A) and British (B). Two of his resources are constrained:

Columbia beans, of which he can get at most 300 pounds (4,800 ounces) per week; and Dominican beans, of which he can get at most 200 pounds (3,200 ounces) per week.

Each pound of American blend coffee requires 12 ounces of Colombian beans and 4 ounces of Dominican beans, while a pound of British blend coffee uses 8 ounces of each type of bean.

Profits for the American blend are $2.00 per pound, and profits for the British blend are $1.00 per pound.

What is the objective function?

A. $1 A + $2 B = Z

B. $12 A + $8 B = Z

C. $2 A + $1 B = Z

D. $8 A + $12 B = Z

E. $4 A + $8 B = Z
