OCA Inc. sells large format fruit salad for institutional use (school cafeterias, hospitals, retirement homes, etc.). Based on customer feedback, OCA has decided to redesign its large salad that is made using the fruit below:

The new requirements for the salad are:

(a.) Each salad should be made using at least 0.5 kg of each fruit.

(b.) Each salad should contain between 10 kg and 11 kg of fruit.

(c.) Each salad should contain at least 6500 units of Vitamin A.

(d.) Each salad should contain at least 1800 units of Vitamin C.

On top of these customer requirements, OCA has developed the following internal goals:

Rank 1: The total cost of the salad should be no more than $40.00.

Rank 2: The salad should contain at least 2.50 kg of bananas.

Rank 3: The salad should contain no more than 2.00 kg of apples, 1.00 kg of pears, and 2.50 kg of strawberries.

Design a Goal Programming Model to help OCA redesign their large salad. Solve the model and make a recommendation to OCA that includes the performance of each of their goals.
