Question: OIL BLENDING:

An oil company produces three brands of oil: Regular, multigrade, and supreme. Each brand of oil is composed of one or more of four crude stocks, each having a different lubrication index. The relevant data concerning the crude stocks are the following:

CRUDE STOCK LUBRICATION INDEX COST ($/BARREL) SUPPLY/DAY (BARRELS)
1 20 7.10 1,000
2 40 8.50 1,100
3 30 7.70 1,200
4 55 9.00 1,000

Each brand of oil must meet a minimum standard for a lubrication index, and each brand thus sells at a different price. The relevant data concerning the three brands of oil are the following:

BRAND MINIMUM LUBRICATION INDEX SELLING PRICE ($/BARREL) DAILY DEMAND (BARRELS)
REGULAR 25 8.50 2,000
MULTIGRADE 35 9.00 1,500
SUPREME 30 10 7.50

Determine the optimal output plan for a single day, assuming that production can be either sold or else stored at negligible cost.
