Linear Programming Modeling (17 points). Outtel company produces two types of microprocessors: Air and Bair. The Air microprocessor is the most basic model Outtel sells, with Blair being a higher tech, upgraded version. Air sells for $120 per unit and Bair sells for $250 per unit. To produce one Air, the company uses 2 hours on assembly line 1 and consumes 1 unit of raw material. To produce one Bair, the company must take an already manufactured Air, and modify it with 2 additional units of raw material, taking 2 hours on assembly line 2 to do so. 1300 hours of time is available on assembly line 1 and 500 hours is available on assembly line 2. A unit of raw material costs $50 (per unit) and the goal of Outtel company is to maximize its profit. Providing your derivation is mandatory for this question. Please note that you can provide your derivations within the textbox for each question, or in an aggregated file at the end of the entire question. Question 29 4 pts A) If the company makes 10 Air microprocessors (including the units used for making Bair microprocessors) and makes 5 Bair microprocessors, what would be the company's profit? Explain your calculations. B) Define appropriate decision variables and specify the objective function in terms of your decision variables (you must use a linear objective function). Explain your answer. C) Using your decision variables and objective function defined in part B), formulate a linear program to help solve Outtel's problem. You do not need to solve the linear program
