A small firm manufactures necklace and bracelets. The total number of necklace and bracelet that it can handle per day is at most . It takes hour to make a bracelet and half an hour to make a necklace. The maximum number of hours available per day is . If the profit on a necklace is and that on a bracelet is , how many of each should be produced daily to maximize the profit? It is being given that at least one of each must be produced.
