+# Manufacturing parts analysis.
+
+Consider you're working as a manufacturing company, and you have a blueprint for some item you wish to sell. 
+This item can be built by combining a set of parts, of which you have a finite amount.
+
+Now, assume you have a set of items and their blueprints, all using a varying -and overlapping- subset of parts from
+your parts list.
+
+Treat the parts list as a set of atomic items and you have a variable amount of each item. These items also have a cost associated with them:
+
+ part   | amount | price 
+ ------ | ------ | ----- 
+ a | 10 | 5.99
+b | 5 | 9.99
+c | 50 | 2.99
+. | |
+. | |
+. | |
+n | |
+
+Consider the blueprint as a compound tuple of the items in use:
+
+| item  | component 1 | component 2 | parts\_price | sales\_price |
+| ----- | ----------- | ----------- | ------------ | ------------ |
+X | 1(b) | 5(c) | 24.94 | 35.00
+Y | 2(a) | 3(c) | 20.95 | 30.00
+Z | 5(b) | 2(a) | 61.93 | 75.00
+
+
+1. How would you determine the optimal set of items to sell to maximize profits?
+
+1. Consider the case where selling the parts straight would be more profitable than selling the manufactured items
