Description

The Heat-Aire Company has two plants that produce identical heat pump units. However, production costs at the two differ due to the technology and labor used at each plant. The total costs of production at the plants depend on the quantity produced, and are described as:

Note that is the number of heat pumps produced at plant 1 and is the number of heat pumps produced at plant 2. Neither plant can make more than 600 heat pumps. Heat pumps can be shipped from either plant to satisfy demand from four different customers. The unit shipping costs and demands for each customer are summarized in the following table.

	Customer 1	Customer 2	Customer 3	Customer 4
Plant 1	$23	$30	$32	$26
Plant 2	$33	$27	$25	$24
Demand	300	250	150	400
