It costs $40/tire to produce with regular labor, $50/tire with overtime, and $70/tire with subcontracting. It costs $2/tire/month to carry a tire in inventory. Tires can be produced only for the current or future periods, e.g., tires cannot be produced in May to fill demand in April. Demands for the next three periods are 800,1000,and 750, for March, April and May, respectively, and all demand must be met. Check all that apply.

a. This is an integer program.

b. This is a transportation problem.

c. The cost of using regular labor in April to fill March demand is $40/tire

d. The cost of using overtime labor in April to fill May demand is $52/tire
