The Ali Chemical Company processes a liquid mixture into two products: SLX-241 and QY-58. A batch of mixture yields 400 liters of SLX-241 and 800 kilograms of QY-58. The cost to obtain a batch of the liquid mixture is $5,000, and the cost to process it into the two products is $1,500. The SLX-241 must be filtered prior to sale at a cost of $2 per liter. The filtered product can then be sold for $8 per liter. Two hundred kilograms of an inert substance are mixed with the 800 kilograms of QY-58 to reduce its toxicity. The inert substance costs $0.50 per kilogram. The diluted QY-58 is then sold for $6 per kilogram.

REQUIRED
