Problem 3(15 points). Feedco produces two types of cattle feed, both consisting totally of wheat and alfalfa.
Feed 1 must contain at least 80% wheat, and feed 2 must contain at least 60% alfalfa. Feed 1 sells for
$1.50lb, and feed 2 sells for $1.30lb. Feedco can purchase up to 1,000lb of wheat at $0.50lb and up
to 800 lb of alfalfa at $0.40lb. Demand for each type of feed is unlimited. Formulate an LP to maximize
Feedco's profit.
Problem 8(1.5 bonus points). Feedco (see Problem 3) has decided to give its customer (assume it has only
one customer) a quantity discount. If the customer purchases more than 300 lb of feed 1, each pound over
the first 300 lb will sell for only $1.25lb. Similarly, if the customer purchases more than 300 pounds of feed
2, each pound over the first 300 lb will sell for $1.00lb. Modify the LP of Problem 3 to account for the
presence of quantity discounts. (Hint: Define variables for the feed sold at each price.)
