[T] By investing x units of labor and y units of capital, a watch manufacturer can produce P ( x , y ) = 50 x 0.4 y 0.6 watches. Find the maximum number of watches that can be produced on a budget of $ 20,000 if labor costs $100/unit and capital costs $200/unit. Use a CAS to sketch a contour plot of the function.

Roughly 3365 watches at the critical point ( 80 , 60 )
A series of curves in the first quadrant, with the first starting near (2, 120), decreasing sharply to near (20, 20), and then decreasing slowly to (120, 5). The next curve starts near (10, 120), decreases sharply to near (40, 40), and then decreases slowly to (120, 20). The next curve starts near (20, 120), decreases sharply to near (60, 60), and then decreases slowly to (120, 40). The next curve starts near (40, 120), decreases to near (80, 80), and then decreases a little slowly to (120, 60). The last curve starts near (60, 120) and decreases rather evenly through (100, 100) to (120, 90).
