Question: 25 points

DCI manufactures two models of a radar gun used by police to monitor the speed of automobiles. Model A has an accuracy of ±1 mile per hour, and model B has an accuracy of ±3 miles per hour. For the next week, the company has orders for 100 units of model A and 150 units of model B. Although DCI purchases all the electronic components used in both models, the plastic cases for both models are manufactured at a DCI plant in Newark, New Jersey. Each model A case requires 4 minutes of injection-molding time and 6 minutes of assembly time. Each model B case requires 3 minutes of injection-molding and 8 minutes of assembly time. For next week, the Newark plant has 600 minutes of injection-molding time and 1080 minutes of assembly time available. The manufacturing cost is $10 per case for model A and $6 per case for model B. Depending on the demand and time available at the Newark plant, DCI occasionally purchases cases for one or both models from an outside supplier in order to fill customer orders that could not be filled otherwise. The purchase cost is $14 for each model A case and $9 for each model B case. Develop a linear programming model to minimize the total cost of cases for DCI.
