A refinery has available two crude oils that have the yields shown in the following table.

Because of equipment and storage limitations, production of gasoline, kerosene, and fuel
oil must be limited as also shown in this table. There are no plant limitations on the
production of other products such as gas oils. The profit on processing crude #1 is $1.00/bbl
and on crude #2 it is $0.70/bbl. Find the optimum daily feed rates of the two crudes to this
plant.

Maximum allowable
Volume percent yields product rate
Crude #1 Crude #2 (bbl/day)
Gasoline 70 31 6000
Kerosene 6 9 5400
Fuel oil 24 60 5000

Profit $ 17.00

Crudes
x1 10.00 bbl/day
x2 10.00 bbl/day

Yields
Gasoline 1010 <= 6000
Kerosene 150 <= 5400
Fuel oil 840 <= 5000
