Supplier
Component123
1$12$14$10

Each supplier has a limited capacity in terms of the totalnumber of components it can supply. However, as long as Edwardsprovides sufficient advance orders, each supplier can devote itscapacity to component 1, component 2, or any combination of the twocomponents, if the total number of units ordered is within itscapacity. Supplier capacities are as follows:

Supplier123
