The Sweet Smell Fertilizer Company markets bags of manure labeled not less than 60 lb dry weight. The packaged manure is a combination of compost and sewage wastes. To provide good-quality fertilizer, each bag should contain at least 30 lb of compost but no more than 40 lb of sewage. Each pound of compost costs Sweet Smell $0.05 and each pound of sewage costs $0.04. Use the Linear Programming method to determine the least- cost blend of compost and sewage in each bag. a. Amount of compost in each bag = 30 VIb b. Amount of sewage in each bag = 30 v lb c. The total dry weight of each bag 60 VIb d. The total cost of each bag = $ $2.70 = e. What if sewage cost was reduced by $0.02 (new supplier), what would be the resource allocation and the total cost of the packaged manure? [Select] the resource allocation would be the same; total cost $2.10 the resource allocation and the cost would remain the same cannot determine because of being outside the feasible region the resource allocation would be 60lbs of compost and 0 lbs of sewage; total cost $2.40 the resource allocation would be 20lbs of compost and 40 lbs of sewage; total cost $1.95
