The property manager of a city government issues chairs, desks, and other office furniture to city buildings from a centralized distribution center. Like most government agencies, it operates to minimize its costs of operations.
 
  In this distribution center, there are two types of standard office chairs, Model A and Model B. Model A is considerably heavier than Model B, and costs 20 per chair to transport to any city building; each model B costs 14 to transport. The distribution center has on hand 400 chairs200 each of A and B.
 
  The requirements for shipments to each of the city's buildings are as follows:
  Building 1 needs at least 100 of A
  Building 2 needs at least 150 of B.
  Building 3 needs at least 100 chairs, but they can be of either type, mixed.
  Building 4 needs 40 chairs, but at least as many B as A.
 
  Formulate this problem as a linear program. (Hint: there are eight decision variables because we need to know how many of each chair (A and B) to deliver to each of the four buildings).
