National Wing Company (NWC) is gearing up for the new B-48 contract. Currently NWC has 100 equally qualified workers. Over the next three months NWC has made the following commitments for wing production:

Month	Wing Production
May	20
June	24
July	30

Each worker can either be placed in production or can train new recruits. A new recruit can be trained to be an apprentice in one month. The next month, he, himself, becomes a qualified worker (after two months from the start of training). Each trainer can train two recruits. The production rate and salary per employee is estimated below.

Employee	Production Rate (Wings/Month)	Salary Per Month
Production	.6	$3,000
Trainer	.3	3,300
Apprentice	.4	2,600
Recruit	.05	2,200

At the end of July, NWC wishes to have no recruits or apprentices but have at least 140 full-time workers. Formulate and solve a linear program for NWC to accomplish this at minimum total cost.
