The assignment method involves assigning jobs based on maximizing the total profit. If worker A does job 1, the total profit would be $15 ($5 for A and $10 for B). If worker B does job 1, the total profit would be $20 ($8 for A and $12 for B). Therefore, worker B should do job 1 and worker A should do job 2, giving a total profit of $20.
