The owner of the store can hire either full time employees or part time employees

The owner of the store can hire either full time employees or part time employees. Full-time employees work for 8 consecutive hours and hence can be hired for the following shifts: 8:00 am to 4:00 pm (Shift 1), Noon to 8:00 pm (Shift 2), 4:00 pm to Midnight (Shift 3). Each full-time employee is paid $14 per hour. Part-time employees can be hired to cover any of the four time periods listed in the table above. Each part-time employee is paid $12 per hour. In addition to the minimum number of employees (full-time or part-time) for each of the four time periods given above, the owner also wants to make sure that there are at least two full-time employees for every part-time employee on duty.

The owner wants to determine how many full time and part-time employees to hire for each shift/time period that will minimize the overall cost.
