Formulate a linear program maximizes gomoryco profits


Discussion:

Q: Gomoryco processes crude oil into aviation fuel and heating oil. It costs $40 to purchase 1000 barrels of crude oil, which is then distilled and yields 500 barrels of aviation fuel and 500 barrels of heating oil. Output from the distillation may be sold directly or processed in the catalytic cracker. If sold after distillation without further processing, aviation fuel sells for $60 per 1000 barrels, and heating oil sells for $40 per 1000 barrels. It takes 1 hour to process 1000 barrels of aviation fuel in tin- catalytic cracker, and these 1000 barrels can be sold for $130. It takes 45 minutes to process 1000 barrels of heating oil in the cracker, mid these 1000 barrels can be sold for $90. Each day, at most 20,000 barrels of crude oil can be purchased, and 8 hours of cracker time are available. Formulate a linear program that maximizes Gomoryco's profits.
