The feed components available for the diet are a standard horse feed product, an enriched oat product and a new vitamin and mineral feed additive. The nutritional values in units per pound and the costs for three feed components are summarized below: Standard Enriched Oat New Additive Ingredient A 0.8 0.2 0.0 Ingredient B 1.0 1.5 3.0 Ingredient C 0.1 0.6 2.0 Cost per pound PO.25 P0.50 P3.00 The minimum daily diet requirements for each horse are three units of ingredient A, six units of ingredient B, and 5 units of Ingredient C. In addition, to control the weight of the horses, the total daily feed for a horse should not exceed 6 pounds. Excalibur Farmhouse would like to determine the minimum cost mix that will satisfy the daily diet requirements
