2. A chemical manufacturer produces three chemicals: A, B and C. These chemicals are produced by two processes: Process 1 and Process 2. Running process 1 for 1 hour costs $4 and yields 3 units of chemical A, 1 unit of chemical B and 1 unit of chemical C. Running process 2 for 1 hour costs $1 and produces 1 unit of chemical A, and 1 unit of chemical B (but none of Chemical C). To meet customer demand, at least 10 units of chemical A, 5 units of chemical B and 3 units of chemical C must be produced daily. Assume that the chemical manufacturer wants to minimize the cost of production. A. Develop the linear programming model that minimizes the cost. B. Use online graphing tools to determine the feasible solution. Take a screenshot of it. C. What are the corner points of the feasible region? D. How many hours of each process must be used to minimize the cost of production? What is the minimum cost of production?
