2. Salsa Aguilar, a small startup business located in Pennsylvania, produces salsas that are sold through Heisler’s Market, a local grocery store located in McMurray, PA. Salsa Aguilar makes two types of products: Original Salsa and Fuego Salsa. Essentially, the two products have different blends of whole tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chopped vegetables. The Original Salsa is a blend of 50% whole tomatoes, 40% tomato sauce, and 10% chopped onions and jalapenos along with a proprietary spice blend. The Fuego Salsa, has a thicker and chunkier consistency, consists of 70% whole tomatoes, 10% tomato sauce, and 20% chopped onions and jalapenos, along with a proprietary spice blend. Each jar of salsa produced weighs 12 ounces. For the current production period, Salsa Aguilar can purchase up to 200 pounds of whole tomatoes, 150 pounds of tomato sauce, and 85 pounds of chopped onions and jalapenos; the price per pound for these ingredients is $1.00, $0.75, and $0.60, respectively. The cost of the spices and the other ingredients is approximately $0.15 per jar. Salsa Aguilar buys empty glass jars for $0.03 each and labeling and filling costs are estimated to be $0.02 for each jar of salsa produced. Salsa Aguilar’s contract with Heisler’s Market results in sales profit of $3.00 for each jar of Original Salsa and $3.25 for each jar of Fuego Salsa.

Letting

O = number of jars of Original Salsa sold

F = number of jars of Fuego Salsa sold

Leads to the formulation of the linear program as follows. The RHS ranges are simply the total ounces of each ingredient and the LHS ranges reflect the quantity in ounces of each ingredient that goes into each jar. Note that the pricing information here is not relevant to our analysis, since we are considering only the net profit for each jar:

               Max       3O + 3.25F

               s.t.

                              6O + 8F                ≤ 3200                Whole tomatoes

                              5O + 1F                ≤ 2400                Tomato Sauce

                              1O + 2F                ≤ 1360                Chopped Onions and jalapenos

                                     O, F               ≥ 0

The computer solution is shown in figure below.

1. What is the optimal solution, and what are the total returns based on these optimal production quantities?
2. Specify the objective function ranges
3. What are the dual values (shadow prices) for each constraint? Interpret each.
4. Identify each of the right-hand-side ranges.
