Amalgamated Products has just received a contract to construct steel body frames for

automobiles that are to be produced at the new Japanese factory in Tennessee. The Japanese
auto manufacturer has strict quality control standards for all of its component subcontractors
and has informed Amalgamated that each frame must have the following steel content:

Amalgamated mixes batches of eight different available materials to produce one ton of
steel used in the body frames. The table on this page details these materials. Formulate and
solve the LP model that will indicate how much each of the eight materials should be blended
into a 1-ton load of steel so that Amalgamated meets its requirements while minimizing costs.
