(10 points) The Emerging Technologies Bank is open 24 hours a day. Tellers work two consecutive 6-hour shifts and are paid $10 an hour. THe possible shifts are as follows: midnight-6 a.m.,6 a.m.noon, noon-6 p.m.,6 p.m.- midnight. During each shift, the following numbers of customers enter the bank:
midnight-6 a.m.,100
6 a.m.-noon, 200
noon-6 p.m.,300
6 p.m.- midnight, 200
Each teller can serve up to 50 customers per shift. To model a cost for customer impatience, we assume that any customer who is present at the end of a shift "costs" the bank $5. We assume that by midnight of each day, all customers must be served, so each day's midnight-6 a.m. shift begins with 0 customers in the bank. Formulate an LP to minimize the sum of the bank's labor and customer impatience costs.
