The PENTEL Corporation manufactures three different types of computer chips. Each type of chip requires different amounts of processing time in three different departments as summarized in the following table.

The total profit for each type of chip may be described as follows:
Chip A profit = -0.35A2 + 8.3A + 540
Chip B profit = -0.60B2 + 9.45B + 1108
Chip C profit = -0.47C2 + 11.0C + 850
Where A, B and C represent the number of chips produced in 100s.
a. Formulate an NLP model for this problem.
b. Implement your model in a spreadsheet and solve it.
c. What is the optimalsolution?
