Steelco manufactures two types of steel at three different steel mills. During a given month, each steel mill has 200 hours of blast furnace time available. Because of differences in the furnaces at each mill, the time and cost to produce a ton of steel differs for each mill. The time and cost for each mill are shown in the table below. Each month, Steelco must manufacture at least 500 tons of steel 1 and 600 tons of steel 2. Formulate an LP to minimize the cost of manufacturing the desired steel.

- G-Motor manufactures airplane engines and has an annual capacity of ? units. For the current production facilities, the company has an annual cost of $?? million. G-motor plans to expand its current aircraft engine capacity in light of anticipated growth in aircraft engine demand in the coming years. The company intends to expand its manufacturing capacity by establishing new facilities. Production facilities can be set up in two ways (called as type A and type B). While the cost of establishing a type A manufacturing facility in any given year is $??, the production capacity of such a facility is ?? units. The cost of establishing a Type B manufacturing facility is $??, and the anticipated production capacity is ?? units. Annual expenditures for any facility of type A or B are projected to be $? million dollars.
