The order is for at least 200 bathroom cabinets of either varieties and including at least 60 of the deluxe kind. The standard model takes 4 hours of the assembling time and has a valuable cost of #4000 whereas the deluxe model takes 5 hours of assembling time and has a valuable cost of #6000 . There are 400 hours available for assembling time. The equipment can be used to assemble either kind of cabinet in any combination. The company's manager engages you as an expert and wishes to minimize the company's cost of this special order. You are required as an expert to formulate this problem in a linear programming form and using the graphical method advise the manager on the best product that will enable his firm to minimize it's cost </SPAN>\n" );
