Question

Q6: A soft drink company has two bottling plants, one located at P and the other at Q. Each plant produces three different soft drinks A, B, and C. The capacities of the two plants in number of bottles per day, are as follows:

	Plant P	Plant Q
Product A	3000	1000
Product B	1000	1000
Product C	2000	6000

A market survey indicates that during the month of May, there will be a demand for at least 24000 bottles of A, 16000 bottles of B and 48000 bottles of C. The operating cost per day of running plants P and Q are respectively $600 and $400. Formulate a model for this problem to find how many days should the firm run each plant in the month of May so that the production cost is minimized while still meeting the market demand.
