AMOUNT of Feed Type: A =__________; B =__________; C =__________; D =__________
Total pounds of Feed produced =____________; Total cost of Feed = $ __________________
2. Dwights Pig Feed Mix Decision Variables:
Let A, B, C and D be the number of pounds of each feed type included in the mix
Objective Function: MIN (Cost) Z = $1.50A + $2.50B + $2.75C + $1.85D
Subject to constraints:
Minimum Required Calories: 70A + 140B + 50C + 60D 4000
Maximum Required Calories: 70A + 140B + 50C + 60D 8000
Vitamins Required: 30A + 80B + 30C + 75D 7000
Minimum Protein: 60A + 40B + 10D 1200
Maximum Protein: 60A + 40B + 10D 2000
Lbs of A Available: A 100
Lbs of B Available: B 100
Lbs of C Available: C 100
Lbs of D Available: D 60
Limit of Type B in Mix: 0.33A + 0.67B 0.33C 0.33D 0
OR B (1/3)(A + B + C + D)
Total Mix Required: A + B + C + D 100
Non-neg: A, B, C and D 0
