A cement plant produces 2,000,000 barrels of cement per year. The kilns emit 2 lb of dust for each barrel produced. The plant must reduce its dust emissions to no more than 700,000 lb per year. There are two devices available, A and B, that will control emissions. Device A will reduce emissions to - Ib per barrel, and the cost is $0.20 per barrel of cement produced. For device B, emissions are reduced to Ib per barrel, and cost is $0.25 per barrel of cement produced. Determine the most economical course of action the plant should take so that it maintains an annual production of exactly 2,000,000 barrels of cement. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Device A should be installed on kilns producing 1,000,000 barrels of cement annually, and device B should be installed on kilns producing 450,000 barrels of cement annually. O B.
