In an open-top drawer, the material cost of the two sides is $240 per m2. The material cost of the back is $500 per m2. The material cost of the front and the bottom are $1000 per m2 and $100 per m2 respectively. Use the method of Lagrange multipliers to find the dimensions of the most economical drawer having a volume of 0.08m3.
