Only the 2nd problem is needed. Please solve with simplex method and the answer should be (6,12) for the point

1. A job shop owner produces two products ( x and y ) daily and sells them to customers. One unit of x requires 1cft and one unit of y requires 2cft and they are stocked in a storage space of 40cft. Product x sells at $4 and y at $3 and the total daily sales must be at least $60 for the sustainability of the shop operation. Three-day production of x and one-day production of y sums to 30 products in total. If the manufacturing cost of product x is $4 and that of y is $1, what should be the product mix to minimize the total cost of production? (a) Given the following formulation, solve the LP problem using the simplex method and write the solution and objective function value. MinimizeZ=4x+ySubjecttox+2y40(Storagecapacity,cft)4x+3y60(Salesvolume,$)3x+y=30(productionratio)x,y0 (b) How much profit does the owner make daily? 2. If the objective function changes to the minZ=x+4y, what is the optimal solution? [Use the optimality condition]
