Chapter 4, Problem 46RE
Food Cost A store sells two brands of snacks. A package of Sun Hill costs $3 and contains 10 oz of peanuts, 4 oz of raisins, and 2 oz of rolled oats. A package of Bear Valley costs $2 and contains 2 oz of peanuts, 4 oz of raisins, and 8 oz of rolled oats. Suppose you wish to make a mixture that contains at least 20 oz of peanuts, 24 oz of raisins, and 24 oz of rolled oats.
- (a) Using the method of surplus variables, find how many packages of each you should buy to minimize the cost. What is the minimum cost?
- (b) Using the method of duals, find how many packages of each you should buy to minimize the cost. What is the minimum cost?
- (c) Suppose the minimum amount of peanuts is increased to 28. Use shadow costs to calculate the total cost in this case.
- (d) Explain why it makes sense that the shadow cost for rolled oats is 0.
