Question: Ozark Farms uses at least 800 lb of special feed daily. The special feed is a mixture of corn and soybean meal with the subsequent compositions:
Lb per lb of feedstuff
Feedstuff Protein Fiber Cost($/lb)
Corn 0.09 0.02 0.30
Soybean meal 0.60 0.06 0.90
The dietary requirements of the special feed are at least 30% protein and at most 5% fiber. Ozark farms wishes to determine the daily minimum-cost feed mix.
Problems:
Part 1: For the diet model, suppose that the daily availability of corn is limited to 450 lb. Identify the new solution space, and determine the new optimum solution.
Part 2: For the diet model, what type of optimum solution would the model yield if the feed mix should not exceed 800 lb a day? Does the solution make sense?
Can someone provide determine the new optimum solution and find the daily minimum-cost feed mix?
