Show the complete Linear Programming Model. Show solutions (i.e. decision variables, objective function, subject to constraints, etc.) Q. A gold processor has two sources of gold ore, source A and source B. In order to keep his plant running, at least three tons of ore must be processed each day. Ore from source A costs $1,000 per ton to process, and ore from source B costs $500 per ton to process. Costs must be kept to less than $4,000 per day. Moreover, Government Regulations require that the amount of ore from source B cannot exceed twice the amount of ore from source A. If ore from source A yields 2 oz. of gold per ton, and ore from source B yields 3 oz. of gold per ton, how many tons of ore from both sources must be processed each day to maximize the amount of gold extracted subject to the above constraints? Formulate the LP model.
