Simplon Manufacturing must decide on the processes to use to produce 1650 units. If machine 1 is used, its production will be between 300 and 1500 units. Machine 2 and/or machine 3 can be used only if machine 1's production is at least 1000 units. Machine 4 can be used with no restrictions. $$\begin{array} { c c c c c }
