Dear Mr. Gordon,
We have completed the analysis of your goal to determine the amount of tomato products to pack for the season. This report consists of defining the whole problem and the solution as you desired to be, with respect to limitations and possibilities that already exist, management policies, recommendations and alternatives.
By modulating the problem, we found out that the highest profit is obtained with 615.000 pounds of canned whole tomatoes from grade A and 205,000 from grade B, 65.000 juice from grade A and 195.000 from B, and 2.000.000 paste tomatoes from grade B. So the whole net profit will be $47.600. This means that by adding 80.000 pounds of grade A tomato, the achievement for the whole profit will stand at it is optimal region.
Furthermore, the report provides information about diverse alternatives such as what happens if the amount of any products are increased, or which type of quality would be better to use for juice or any other products, cost changes and how they influences the whole objective function.
The attached report gives the details of what we have done in order to come up with the best solution, the analysis procedure, the recommendations and the alternatives that can be considered in the problem. If you have any question or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
