Smith Beverage is considering producing a wine cooler that would be a blend of a white wine, a rose wine, and fruit juice. To meet taste specifications, the wine cooler must consist of at least 50% white wine, at least 20% and no more than 30% rose, and exactly 20% fruit juice. Smith purchases the wine from local wineries and the fruit juice from a processing plant in San Francisco. For the current production period, 10,000 gallons of white wine and 8000 gallons of rose wine can be purchased; an unlimited amount of fruit juice can be ordered. The costs for the wine are $1.00 per gallon for the white and $1.50 per gallon for the rose; the fruit juice can be purchased for $0.50 per gallon. Smith Beverage Products can sell all of the wine cooler it can produce for $2.50 per gallon. Smith is interested maximizing profit.

- Select your answer -Sunk costRelevant costItem 1
Explain.
The input in the box below will not be graded, but may be reviewed and considered by your instructor.
(b) Formulate a linear program to determine the blend of the three ingredients that will maximize the total profit contribution. Solve the linear program to determine the number of gallons of each ingredient La Jolla should purchase and the total profit contribution it will realize from this blend.
If required, round your answers to one decimal place.
For subtractive or negative numbers use a minus sign even if there is a + sign before the blank.
Let W = gallons of white wine
Let R = gallons of rose wine
Let F = gallons of fruit wine
Max W + R + F
s. t.
W + R + F ≥ % white
W + R + F ≥ % rose minimum
W + R + F ≥ % rose maximum
W + R + F = % fruit juice
W ≤ Available white
R ≤ Available rose
W, R, F ≥ 0
Optimal Solution:

R
F
