The expression for the total number of units of the product received is x + y.
The total will be =y+x because it will be the sum of the two shipment quantities.
b. Cost = $.20(x)+$.25(y) because the cost will be the sum of the costs per unit for each shipment.
c. 5000 =x+y allows for any combination of x and y units.
d. Total will be: x+y where x<=4000 and y<=3000
e. The minimum cost is where a and b are minimized in demand =ax+by. We cannot determine a maximum value for a or b because we do not know what the demand is. If the problem calls for referral to part b, then use the equation demand=$.20x
