Question

A contractor builds storage sheds in two basic models, the Chelan and the Orondo. Each Chelan model requires 1000 ft of framing lumber, 3000 cubic feet of concrete, and $2000 for advertising. Each Orondo model requires 2000 ft of framing lumber, 3000 cubic feet of concrete, and $3000 for advertising. Contracts call for using at least 8000 ft of framing lumber, 18,000 cubic feet of concrete, and $15,000 worth of advertising. If construction cost for each Chelan shed is $30,000, and the construction cost for each Orondo shed is $40,000, how many of each model should be built to minimize construction costs?

Find the following:

1. The Dual Maximization Problem.
2. The initial Simplex Tableau for the dual problem.
3. The final Simplex Tableau for the dual.
4. The minimum cost, and number of each type of storage shed to be built.
