Please solve the question ASAP. 7 points for the model points for OPL points for readable solution that is presentable to the CEO. Format: Solution OPL code including script file and output if used. You work for a pet food maker. You make 6 types of pet food and the relevant information is given in the table. There are ingredients that go into each product and the nutritional information and cost are also given. You can assume that anything that you produce is sold. You have a capacity of only being able to produce 800 tons per day. To keep your foot in the marketplace, you must buy at least tons of every ingredient. Given all of this information, what should the company do?

Step 1
Calculate the total amount of each ingredient needed for producing all 6 types of pet food: - Chicken: 4000 tons - Lamb: 5000 tons - Beef: 2000 tons - Pork: 0 tons - Corn: 5000 tons - Soybeans: 2000 tons - Strawhay: 0 tons - Wheat: 0 tons - Sorghum: 0 tons Show more…

Dwight is an elementary school teacher who also raises pigs for supplemental income. He is trying to decide what to feed his pigs. He is considering using a combination of pig feeds available from local suppliers. He would like to feed the pigs at a minimum cost while also making sure each pig receives an adequate supply of calories and vitamins. Dwight has formulated the following Linear Programming (LP) model: Let A = pounds of Feed Type A in the diet B = pounds of Feed Type B in the diet Minimize Z = $0.40A + $0.80B (Cost) subject to: 800A + 1,000B ≥ 8,000 (requirement of calories per day) 140A + 70B ≥ 700 (requirement of units of vitamins) A ≤ (1/3)(A + B) (constraint 3) and A ≥ 0, B ≥ 0. Solve this LP problem using the graphical method: g. Graph the constraints and identify the feasible region. (6 points) h. Determine the optimal solution(s) and the minimum cost (show your calculations). Include "managerial statements" that communicate the results of the analyses (i.e. describe verbally the results). (5 points) i. Determine the amount of slack for each of the constraints. (3 points)

The Healthy Pet Food Company manufactures two types of dog food: Meaties and Yummies. Each package of Meaties, M, contains 4 pounds of cereal and 2.5 pounds of meat; each package of Yummies, Y, contains 2.5 pounds of cereal and 1.5 pounds of meat. Healthy believes it can make $0.65 of profit on the sale of each package of Meaties, and $0.45 of profit on the sale of each package of Yummies. At the same time, Healthy is limited in several ways. First, Healthy can buy only up to 400000 pounds of cereal each month, and it can buy only up to 300000 pounds of meat each month. In addition, a special piece of machinery is required to make Meaties, and this machine has a capacity of 90000 packages per month. The company would like to maximize its monthly profit. a) In each blank box below, select the best answer from the list that helps complete the objective function and its associated constraint inequalities. Please note that the option <= indicates <=, and the option >= indicates >=. b) Use the geometric approach (with M placed on the x-axis and Y on the y-axis) to determine the coordinates of the corner points of the solution region. Then, select the answer from this list: c) Which of the feasible corner points you selected in part (b) above maximizes the objective function? Note that a feasible corner point is any corner point with at least one non-zero coordinate. Select the answer from this list: d) What is the maximum profit?
