- Sunco Oil produces oil at two wells. Well 1 canproduce up to 150,000 barrels per day, and well 2 canproduce up to 200,000 barrels per day. It is possible toship oil directly from the wells to Sunco’s customersin Los Angeles and New York. Alternatively,Sunco could transport oil to the ports of Mobile andGalveston and then ship it by tanker to New Yorkor Los Angeles. Los Angeles requires 160,000 barrelsper day, and New York requires 140,000 barrels perday. The costs of shipping 1000 barrels betweenvarious locations are shown in the file P05_55.xlsx,where a blank indicates shipments that are not allowed.Determine how to minimize the transport costs inmeeting the oil demands of Los Angeles and New York.Problem: A farmer is planning to raise wheat and barley. Each acre of wheat yields a profit of $50, and each acre of barley yields a profit of $70. To sow the crop, two machines, a tractor and a tiller are rented. The tractor is available for 150 hours, and the tiller is available for 200 hours. Sowing an acre of wheat requires 4 hours of tractor time and 1 hour of tilling. Sowing an acre of barley requires 3 hours of tractor time and 2 hours of tilling. How many acres of each crop should be planted to maximize the farmer’s profit? (Let W be the number of acres of wheat to be planted, B the number of acres of barley to be planted and P the profit) (a) What is the objective function for the problem?
