Question

A California grower has a 50-acre farm on which to plant strawberries and tomatoes. The grower has available 300 hours of labor per week and 800 tons of fertilizer, and he has contracted for shipping space for a maximum of 26 acres’ worth of strawberries and 37 acres’ worth of tomatoes. An acre of strawberries requires 10 hours of labor and 8 tons of fertilizer, whereas an acre of tomatoes requires 3 hours of labor and 20 tons of fertilizer. The profit from an acre of strawberries is $400, and the profit from an acre of tomatoes is $300. The farmer wants to know the number of acres of strawberries and tomatoes to plant. Formulate a linear programming model for this problem and solve it using the graphical method. You must upload a single file (Word, Excel, PDF, JPEG etc.). Your file should contain the following information: LP model where decision variables are clearly identified, a graph showing all constraints with feasible region clearly identified and a table showing all extreme corners in the feasible region with optimal solution. You can do these either electronically or using pen and paper and then taking a picture of your work and upload it!
