Explanation of Solution
Solution:
Let,
The size mix and cost of the valves given in the tale below,
Supplier |
Cost Per value (S) |
Percent Large |
Percent Medium | Percent Small |
1 | 5 | 40 | 40 | 20 |
2 | 4 | 30 | 35 | 35 |
3 | 3 | 20 | 20 | 60 |
Then, the total cost of the valves can be expressed as,
In each month, at least 500 large valves should be purchased. Therefore, the constraint can be written as,
In each month, at least 300 medium valves should be purchased. Therefore, the constraint can be written as,
In each month, at least 300 small valves should be purchased. Therefore, the constraint can be written as,
