13-7.  Klein Industries manufactures three types of portable air compressors: small, medium, and large, which have unit profits of $20.50, $34.00, and $42.00, respectively. The projected monthly sales are: 

                  Small  Medium  Large 
 Minimum  14,000   6,200  2,600 
 Maximum  21,000  12,500  4,200 

 The production process consists of three primary activities: bending and forming, welding, and painting. The amount of time in minutes needed to process each product in each department is shown below: 
                                 Small  Medium  Large  Available Time  

Bending/forming            0.4       0.7       0.8       23,400 

Welding                       0.6       1.0       1.2       23,400 
Painting                       1.4       2.6       3.1       46,800
