A company is developing a linear programming model for its aggregate production plan.Each worker can produce 500 units per quarter.If Wt = workforce size in period t and Pt = number of units produced in period t,then the production constraint for period 3 is
A)W3 = 500P3
B)P3 = W3 − 500
C)P3 = 500W3
D)P3 = W3/500
