These resources can be used to make either gasoline, which sells for $38 per barrel, or home heating oil, which sells for $33 per barrel. The three production processes have the characterstics in the pictured table. All quantities are in barrels. For example, with the first process, 3 barrels of crude A and5 barrels of crude B are used to produce 4 barrels of gasoline and 3 barrels of heating oil at a cost of $51.
