Question 1: Use Graphical Method to solve the following minimization problem:

A cheese producer must feed her stock of Jersey cattle daily at least 550 units of nutritional element A, 500
units of nutritional element B, and 820 units of nutritional element C. She has available two feeds. One
pound of Feed X costs 80 cents and contains 2 units of A, 5 units of B, and 7 units of C. One pound of
Feed Y costs 30 cents and contains 3 units of A, 1 unit of B, and 2 units of C. The cheese producer wants
to determine what combination of the two feeds will meet the dietary requirements of her Jerseys and keep
costs at a minimum. Determine the least expensive adequate feeding diet.
Question 2: Develop the Mathematical Model for the following problem.
A plant has two processes it can use to produce Products A and B. An hour's operation of Process 1
produces 3 units of A and 6 of B and costs $25; an hour's operation of Process 2 produces 5 units of A and
5 of B and costs $20. The plant must produce at least 90 units of A and 120 of B over the next week. How
many hours should each process be used so that demands are met and costs minimized?
Question 3: Develop the Mathematical Model for the following problem.
A small plastics company makes novelty figures for sale at political conventions. This spring the company
has available 450 hr of labor and 825 spare units of plastic for use in the production of donkeys and
elephants. Each elephant requires 2 hr of labor and 7 units of plastic; each donkey requires 5 hr of labor
and 5 units of plastic. Elephants sell for $10, and up to 100 can be sold this summer; donkeys sell for $7,
with a market for 80. How many of each should the company produce to maximize income over the
coming summer?
