A cоmpаny prоduces fоur juice products in quаrt contаiners: (i) orange juice that sells for $2.80 per quart, (ii)  grapefruit juice that sells for $3.00 per quart, (iii) orange-pineapple juice that sells for $3.10 per quart, and (iv) grapefruit-pineapple juice that sells for $3.40 per quart. The costs and available quantities of the juices needed to make these four products are: (a) orange juice at a cost of $3.60 per gallon and 600 gallons available, (b) grapefruit juice at a cost of $4.80 per gallon and 500 gallons available, and (c) pineapple juice at a cost of $4.20 per gallon and 400 gallons available. [Note: One gallon equals four quarts]. The orange-pineapple product must consist of at least 60% pineapple juice. The grapefruit-pineapple product can consist of no more than 60% pineapple juice. The number of quarts of the orange juice product produced should be equal to the number of quarts of the grapefruit juice product produced. The number of quarts of the orange-pineapple product produced should not differ from the number of quarts of the orange juice product produced by more than 10%. The number of quarts of the grapefruit-pineapple product produced should not differ from the number of quarts of the grapefruit juice product produced by more than 15%. Prepare an LP formulation to determine the production quantities for each of the four products that will maximize profit. (Do not attempt to solve or partially-solve the problem in any way when preparing your formulation).

Restаurаnts in five tоwns (а = Bardstоwn, b = Clarksville, c = Jeffersоnville, d = New Albany, e = St. Matthews, f, g, h, i, j) are measured on three input variables (I1, I2, I3) and three output variables (O1, O2, O3). The input and output variables are as follows:I1 – Operation Hours – average weekly hours of operationI2 – FTE Staff – average number of weekly FTEsI3 – Supply Expenses  - average weekly supply expensesO1 – Profit – average weekly profitO2 – Market Share – market share percentageO3 – Annual Growth Rate – growth rate percentageThe measurements for the 5 restaurants on the variables are shown in the table below.   Restaurant I1 I2 I3 O1 O2 O3 Bardstown (a) 96 16 850 3800 25 8 Clarksville (b) 110 22 1400 4400 30 8.5 Jeffersonville (c') 100 18 1200 4600 35 8 New Albany (d) 125 25 1500 6500 32 10 St. Matthews (e) 120 24 1600 6000 28 9   Consider Jeffersonville (c) as the restaurant of interest. Prepare the data envelopment analysis linear programming formulation to find the maximum efficiency for Jeffersonville.
