A retail store in Des Moines, Iowa, receives shipments of a particular product from Kansas City and Minneapolis. Let x =number of units of the product received from Kansas City.

y= number of units of the product received from Minneapolis

A. Write expression for the total number of units of the product received by the retail store in Des Moines.

B. Shipments from Kansas City cost $0.20 per unit, and shipments from Minneapolis cost $ 0.25 per unit. Develop an objective function representing the total cost of shipments to Des Moines.

C. Assuming the monthly demand at the retail store is 5000 units, develop a constraints that requires 5000 units to be shipped to Des Moines.

D. No more than 4000 units can be shipped from Kansas City, and no more than 3000 units can be shipped from Minneapolis in a month. Develop constraints to model this solution.

E. Of course, negative amounts cannot be shipped.

Combine the objective function and constraints developed to state a mathematical model for satisfying the demand at the Des Moines retail store at minimum cost.
