Part a (worth 60 pts): Formulate a linear programming model (identify and define decision variables, objective function and constraints) that can be used to determine the amount (in pounds) of Brazilian Natural and Colombian Mild that will maximize the total contribution to profit. For “Part a” you do NOT need to solve this problem using Excel, you just need to do the LP formulation in the standard mathematical format.
Part b (bonus worth 20 pts): Solve the LP problem that you formulated in “Part a” using Excel. Give the values of each decision variable and the objective function. You MUST attach a copy of the solution report.
