Final Lagrange
Cell Name Value Multiplier
$G$20 Stamping Fixed Hours* 765 0
$G$21 Forming Fixed Hours* 800 490
Lagrange Multiplier: For each additional hour above the 800 hr constraint
490 more contribution margin can be added. This is achieved by producing
2 more LX (can produce two per hour) which each have a contribution margin
of 245.
