An oil company produces gasoline from five inputs. The cost, density, viscosity, and sulfur content, and the number of barrels available of each input are listed in the file PO4_78.xlsx. Gasoline sells for $75 per barrel. Gasoline can have a density of at most .95 units per barrel, a viscosity of at most 35 units per barrel, and a sulfur content of at most 3.3 units per barrel.
