Question: A pharmaceutical firm is about to begin production of three new drugs. An objective function designed to minimize ingredient costs and three production constraints are as follows:
Minimize Cost 50X 1 + 10X 2 + 75X 3
Subject to: X 1 - X 2 = 1000
2X 2 + 2X 3 = 2000
X 1 < 1500
X 1 , X 2 , X 3 > 0
- Convert these constraints and objective function to the proper form for use in the simplex tableau.
- Solve the problem by the simplex method. What is the optimal solution and cost?
