Question: My diet requires that all the food I eat come from one of the four "basic food groups" (chocolate cake, ice cream, soda, and cheesecake). At present, the following four foods are available for consumption: brownies, chocolate ice cream, cola, and pineapple cheesecake. Each brownie costs $0.5, each scoop of chocolate ice cream costs $0.2, each bottle of cola costs $0.3, and each piece of pineapple cheesecake costs $0.8. each day, I must ingest at least 500 calories, 6oz of chocolate, 10oz of sugar, and 8oz of fat. The nutritional content per unit of each food is shown in the following table.
- Formulate a linear programming model that can be used to satisfy my daily nutritional requirements at minimum cost.
- Use Solver to find the optimal solution.
- Interpret the shadow prices for all of the constraints.
