Clancy's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in Philadelphia that sells gluten-free pizzas. Clancy's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the three ovens in which his workers bake the pizzas. Clancy signed a lease obligating him to pay the rent for the three ovens for the next year. Because of this, and because Clancy's kitchen cannot fit more than three ovens, Clancy cannot change the number of ovens he uses in his production of pizzas in the short run.
However, Clancy's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because his workers tend to be students. Each Monday, Clancy lets them know how many workers he needs for each day of the week. In the short run, these workers are
inputs, and the ovens
are
inputs.
Clancy's daily production schedule is presented in the following table.
