B. Problem Formulation:
1. Decision Variables:
F1 = Fertilizer 1, Pounds, Positive
F2 = Fertilizer 2, Pounds, Positive
N1 = Nitrogen used in Fertilizer 1, Pounds, Positive
N2 = Nitrogen used in Fertilizer 2, Pounds, Positive
Si1 = Silicon used in Fertilizer 1, Pounds, Positive
Si2 = Silicon used in Fertilizer 2, Pounds, Positive
These decision variables are the unknowns that are needed to complete a formulation to
help maximize Bullco's profits.
2. Objective Function: Since profit is being maximized, the objective function is created
in the form of profit. Knowing that profit can be defined as the difference between the
cost of the ingredients and the selling price of the fertilizer, the objective function is
formulated as:
