Apharmaceutical company is the only producer of a particular drug. It sells that drugin two countries, one rich and the other a development country. The inverse demandfor the drug in the rich country is pr(qr) = 20 – 2qñ, and in the developing country itis pp(qp) 10- qp. The total cost of production is C(qR, qp) = (qr+qp)².

A chemical manufacturer uses chemicals 1 and 2 to produce two drugs. Drug 1 must be at least 80% chemical 2 and drug 2 must be at least 75% chemical 1. Up to 70,000 ounces of drug 1 can be sold at $40 per ounce; up to 50,000 ounces of drug 2 can be sold at $15 per ounce. Up to 65,000 ounces of chemical 1 and up to 42,000 ounces of chemical 2 can be purchased. Formulate this problem as a linear programming model (using algebraic notation) to determine how to maximize the manufacturer's revenue. (You only need to formulate this problem as an algebraic model. No Excel spreadsheet model. No need to solve the model.)
