Labs manufactures mechanical heart valves from
the heart valves of pigs. Different heart operations require
valves of different sizes. U.S. Labs purchases pig valves
from three different suppliers. The cost and size mix of the
valves purchased from each supplier are given in Table 3.
Each month, U.S. Labs places one order with each supplier.
At least 500 large, 300 medium, and 300 small valves must
be purchased each month. Because of limited availability of
pig valves, at most 700 valves per month can be purchased
from each supplier. Formulate an LP that can be used to
minimize the cost of acquiring the needed valves.

A post office requires different numbers of full-time employees on different days of the week. The number of full-time employees required on each day is given in the table. Union rules state that each full-time employee must work five consecutive days and then receive two days off. The post office wants to meet its daily requirements using only full-time employees. Formulate an LP that the post office can use to minimize the number of full-time employees that must be hired.
