Accounting

Use the two-stage method to solve. A brewery produces regular beer and a lower-carbohydrate "light" beer. Steady customers of the brewery buy 12 units of regular beer and 10 units of light beer. While setting up the brewery to produce the beers, the management decides to produce extra beer, beyond that needed to satisfy the steady customers. The cost per unit of regular beer is $34,000, and the cost per unit of light beer is $46,000. The number of units of light beer should not exceed twice the number of units of regular beer. At least 26 additional units of beer can be sold. How much of each type of beer should be made so as to minimize total production costs?
