Problem Set 2
2. Four foods X1, X2, X3, X4 are to be produced. X1 contains 2 calories, no vitamin and cost P40 per unit.
X2 contains no calories, 2 units of vitamins and cost P100. X3 contains 1 unit calorie, 1 unit of vitamins
and cost P120 per unit. X4 contains 3 units calories, 2 units vitamins and cost P150 per unit. The
minimum calorie requirement is 15 units and the minimum vitamin requirement is 8 units. How much of
each food should be produced to satisfy these requirements and to minimize the total cost? (25 points)
Therefore 7 units of X1 should be produced to satisfy the requirements with the cost of P353.33
