Klein Industries manufactures three types of portable air compressors: small, medium and large, which have units profits of $20.50, $34.00 and $42.00, respectively.

The projected monthly sales are:

	Small	Medium	large
Minimum	14,000	6,200	2,600
maximum	21,000	12,500	4,200

The production process consists of three primary activities: bending and forming, welding and painting. The amount of time in minutes needed to process each product in each department is shown below:

	Small	Medium	Large	Available time
Bending/forming	0.4	0.7	0.8	23,400
Welding	0.6	1.0	1.2	23,400
Painting	1.4	2.6	3.1	46,800

How many of each type of air compressor should the company produce to maximize profit?

(a) Formulate and solve a linear optimization model using the auxiliary variables cells methods and write a short memo to the production manager explaining the sensitivity information.

(b) Solve the model without the auxiliary variables and explain the relationship between the reduced costs and the shadow prices found in part A.
