Meatpacking Company produces a hot dog mixture in 1,000-pound batches. The mixture contains two ingredients chicken and beef. The cost per pound of each of these ingredients is as follows : Ingredient Chicken Вef Cost/lb. 165 275 Each batch has the following recipe requirements: At least 500 pounds of chicken At least 200 pounds of beef The ratio of chicken to beef must be at least 2 to 1. The company wants to know the optimal mixture of ingredients that will minimize cost. Formulate a linear programming model for this problem. A. Solve using the steps in Linear Programming Formulation B. Find the coordinates for the graphical analysis
