    A Blend Example

    A petroleum company produces three grades of motor oil Super, Premium, and Extra from three
    optimal mix of the three components in each grade of motor oil that will maximize profit. The ma
    their cost per barrel are as follows:

    Max Barrels
    Components Cost/Barrel
    Avl/Day
    1 4,500 $ 12.00
    2 2,700 $ 10.00
    3 3,500 $ 14.00

    To ensure the appropriate blend, each grade has certain general specifications. Each grade mus
    combination of other components, as follows:

    Component Selling Price /


    Grade
    Spec Barels
    At least 50% of
    Super 1 Not more than $ 23.00
    30% of 2
    At least 40% of
    Premium 1 Not more than $ 20.00
    25% of 3
    At least 60% of
    Extra 1 At least 10% $ 18.00
    of 2

    The company wants to produce at least 3,000 barrels of each grade of motor oil.
