Let the firm manufacture x kg of Whey and y kg of Vegan Protein shake respectively.
According to the given condition,
The equation for carbohydrate, protein and vitamins are respectively.
100x+200y 800
x+2y 8.....(1)
400x+300y 2200
4x+3y 22....(2)
300x+100y 900
3x+y 9....(3)
Let the minimum cost be Z
so Z=20x+12.50y....(4)
The intersection points of the above lines are (1,6),(4,2),(0,9),(8,0)
Value of Z at(1,6)=
=95
similarly at (4,2) Z=105
at (0,9) Z=112.5
at(8,0) Z=160
Hence the value of Z is
minimum at (1,6)
So we have to produce 1 kg of Whey protein and 6 kg of Vegan protein to minimize the cost.
The minimize cost is $95
