i need the answer of this problem

(Modification of Problem #3.2-3 in page 83 from Hillier & Lieberman’s OR Textbook 10th edition) This is your lucky day. You have just won a $20,000 prize. You are setting aside $8,000 for taxes and partying expenses, but you have decided to invest the other $12,000. Upon hearing this news, two different friends have offered you an opportunity to become a partner in two different entrepreneurial ventures, one planned by each friend. In both cases, this investment would involve expending some of your time next summer as well as putting up cash. Becoming a full partner in the first friend’s venture would require an investment of $10,000 and 400 hours, and your estimated profit (ignoring the value of your time) would be $9,000. The corresponding figures for the second friend’s venture are $8,000 and 500 hours, with an estimated profit to you of $9,000. However, both friends are flexible and would allow you to come in at any fraction of a full partnership you would like. If you choose a fraction of a full partnership, all the above figures given for a full partnership (money investment, time investment, and your profit) would be multiplied by this same fraction. Because you were looking for an interesting summer job anyway (maximum of 600 hours), you have decided to participate in one or both friends’ ventures in whichever combination would maximize your total estimated profit. You now need to solve the problem of finding the best combination.

(a) Describe the analogy between this problem and the Wyndor Glass Co. problem discussed in Sec. 3.1 (see attached). Then construct and fill in a table like Table 3.1 for this problem, identifying both the activities and the resources.

(b) Formulate a linear programming model for this problem.

(c) Use the graphical method to find the optimal solution and describe it briefly in “plain English” solve this model. What is your total estimated profit?
