Business question?

A doctor allots 15 minutes for routine office visits and 45 minutes for full physicals. The doctor cannot do more than 10 physicals per day. The doctor has 9 available hours for appointments each day. A routine office visit costs $60 and a full physical costs $100. How many routine office visits and full physicals should the doctor schedule to maximize her income each day? What is her maximum income?

    She makes the most money per minute ($4) on routine visits which have no limit. She should therefore only do routine office visits; she can do 36 in a day making $2160 per day.

    Doctors don’t do the full physical exam. They have nurse practitioners and physician assistants that do most of it.
