A paper-recycling plant processes box board, tissuepaper, newsprint, and book paper into pulp that can be usedto produce three grades of recycled paper (grades 1, 2, and3). The prices per ton and the pulp contents of the fourinputs are shown in Table 82. Two methods, de-inking andasphalt dispersion, can be used to process the four inputsinto pulp. It costs $20 to de-ink a ton of any input. Theprocess of de-inking removes 10% of the input’s pulp,leaving 90% of the original pulp. It costs $15 to applyasphalt dispersion to a ton of material. The asphalt dispersionprocess removes 20% of the input’s pulp. At most, 3,000tons of input can be run through the asphalt dispersionprocess or the de-inking process. Grade 1 paper can only beproduced with newsprint or book paper pulp; grade 2 paper,only with book paper, tissue paper, or box board pulp; andgrade 3 paper, only with newsprint, tissue paper, or boxboard pulp. To meet its current demands, the company needs500 tons of pulp for grade 1…
