Question: Question 1 1 to Question 1 3 is based on this problem. A dietitian wants to formulate a low - cost , high - calorie

Question 11 to Question 13 is based on this problem.
A dietitian wants to formulate a low-cost, high-calorie food product for a customer. The following information is available about the 2 ingredients that can be combined to make the food. The customer wants 1,000 pounds of the food product, and it must contain at least 250 pounds of food 1 and 300 pounds of food 2.
Table 2- Chapter 7-1.png
The multiple objective linear programming (MOLP) formulation for this problem is as follows:
Let X1= Pounds of food 1,
X2= Pounds of food 2.
MIN: 1.24 X1+1 X2 minimize cost of food product
MAX: 3,000 X1+2,500 X2 maximize the calories
Subject to: 0.15 X1+0.25 X2=300 fat
0.35 X1+0.40 X2>=370 protein
0.50 X1+0.35 X2>=400 carbohydrates
X1>=250 food 1
X2>=300 food 2
X1+ X2=1,000 total food product required
Xi >=0 for all i
Implement the MOLP formulation in spreadsheet and solve it by Solver.
What is the best possible value for the first objective (i.e. minimizing cost of food product) in the problem? Rounding the decimals of your answer to units.
