Problem $2$:

Assume you have some $135$ lb $.$ hogs on feed and would

like to have them gain another $130$ lbs $.$ before they are sold.

Research has shown that any one of the following

combinations of corn and soybean oil meal $($SBOM$)$ will

put $130$ lbs $.$ of gain on a $135-lb.$ hog. Your problem is to

find the combination $($i$.$e$.,$ Ration Number$)$ which will put

on the gain for the least cost. Complete the table and

answer the questions which follow.

For each price combination, compute the price ratio

and find the corresponding least$-$cost ration.

Price Least$-$Cost

Ratio Ration No$.$

a$)$ Corn at $8\mathrm{.}0$ per lb$.,$ SBOM at $24$ per lb$.$

b$)$ Corn at $11\mathrm{.}4!in$ per lb$.,$ SBOM at $15$ per lb$.$

c$)$ Corn at $10\mathrm{.}0!in$ per lb$.,$ SBOM at $18!in$ per lb $.$

d$)$ Corn at $13\mathrm{.}0!in$ per lb$.,$ SBOM at $28!in$ per lb$.$

e$)$ Corn at $6\mathrm{.}0$ per lb$.,$ SBOM at $30!in$ per lb$.$

If corn costs $8\mathrm{.}8!in$ per lb$.,$ what would SBOM have to

cost to make ration #$6$ the least$-$cost ration? SHOW

WORK!
