Federal Rent-a-Car is putting together a new fleet. It is considering package offers from three car manufacturers. Fred Motors is offering 5 small cars, 5 medium cars, and 10 large cars for $500,000. Admiral Motors is offering 5 small, 10 medium, and 5 large cars for $400,000. Chrysalis is offering 10 small, 5 medium, and 5 large cars for $300,000. Federal would like to buy at least 550 small cars, at least 500 medium cars, and at least 550 large cars.

Answer:

a) X ( number of package bought from Fred motors ) = 30

   Y ( number of package bought from Admiral ) = 20

   Z ( number of package bought from Chrysalis ) = 30

b) The smallest total cost = $32,000,000

Explanation:

Given data :

cars types         x                     y              z                quantity needed

small                  5                    5             10                      550

medium             5                    10            5                       500

large                  10                   5             5                       550

cost              $500,000     $400,000  $300,000        

Note : x = number of package bought from Fred motors , y = Admiral motors ,  z = Chrysalis motors

The number of packages to be bought from each car manufacturer to keep total cost as small as possible

X ( number of package bought from Fred motors ) = 30

Y ( number of package bought from Admiral ) = 20

Z ( number of package bought from Chrysalis ) = 30

The smallest total cost = ( 30 * 500,000 ) + ( 20*400,000) + (30*300,000 )

                                      = $32,000,000
