By weight, drug 1 must contain at least 65% chemical 1, and drug 2 must contain at least 55% chemical 1. Drug 1 sells for $6/oz, and drug 2 sells for $4/oz. Chemicals 1 and 2 can be produced by one of two production processes. Running process 1 for an hour requires 3 oz of raw material and 2 hours skilled labor and yields 3 oz of each chemical.
Running process 2 for an hour requires 2 oz of raw material and 3 hours of skilled labor and yields 3 oz of chemical 1 and 1 oz of chemical 2. A total of 120 hours of skilled labor and 100 oz of raw material are available. Formulate an LP that can be used to maximize Daisy’s sales revenues.
