(d) A company has three factories. Each factory produces three different products (A, Band C). Factory 1 has a daily production capacity production of 8 units of A, 4 units of B and 8 units of C. Factory 2 has a daily production capacity of 6 units of A, 6 units of B and 3 units of C. Factory 3 has a production capacity of 12 units of A, 4 units of B and 8 units of C. The total demand for product A is 300 units, for product B is 172 units and for product C is 250 units. The daily operating cost for Factory 1 is $55 for Factory 2 is $60 and for Factory 3 is $50. How many days should each factory be operated in order to fill the total demand and the keep the operating cost at a minimum? (v) Use the simplex method to determine the optimal tableau. Ensure that you explain each step in the computation. (vi) Identify the basic and non-basic variables. (vii) Identily the optimal solution.
