## 4. Mathematical Optimization Formulation

#### Decision Variables
Let \( x_i \) be the number of copies produced for book \( i \), where \( i = 1, 2, 3 \).

#### Objective Function
Maximize the total revenue:
\[
\text{Maximize } Z = 20x_1 + 25x_2 + 30x_3
\]
**Data Source Verification**: Coefficients \( 20, 25, 30 \) are from `book_prices.Price`.

#### Constraints
1. **Total Production Budget**:
\[
10x_1 + 12x_2 + 15x_3 \leq 150000
\]
**Data Source Verification**: Coefficients \( 10, 12, 15 \) are from `production_costs.Cost`, and the constant \( 150000 \) is from `total_budget.Total_Budget`.

2. **Maximum Issues per Book**:
\[
x_1 \leq 6000, \quad x_2 \leq 6000, \quad x_3 \leq 6000
\]
**Data Source Verification**: Constant \( 6000 \) is from `max_issues.Max_Issues`.

3. **Minimum Demand**:
\[
x_1 \geq 500, \quad x_2 \geq 600, \quad x_3 \geq 700
\]
**Data Source Verification**: Constants \( 500, 600, 700 \) are from `minimum_demand.Min_Demand`.

#### Non-Negativity Constraints
\[
x_1 \geq 0, \quad x_2 \geq 0, \quad x_3 \geq 0
\]

This formulation provides a complete, immediately solvable LINEAR mathematical model with all numerical coefficients derived from the provided data.

**Recommended Optimal Value**: 306000.0
**Confidence Level**: HIGH
**Preferred Solver(s)**: gurobipy
**Reasoning**: Gurobipy is recommended due to its faster execution time while maintaining high reliability and accuracy.

### Optimal Decision Variables
- **x_1** = 6000.000
  - *Business Meaning*: Number of copies produced for Book 1, optimized at 6000 to meet maximum demand.
- **x_2** = 6000.000
  - *Business Meaning*: Number of copies produced for Book 2, optimized at 6000 to meet maximum demand.
- **x_3** = 6000.000
  - *Business Meaning*: Number of copies produced for Book 3, optimized at 6000 to meet maximum demand.

### Business Interpretation
**Overall Strategy**: The optimal solution suggests producing the maximum number of copies for all three books to maximize revenue, given the constraints.
**Objective Value Meaning**: The total revenue of $306,000 is achieved by maximizing the production of all three books within the budget and demand constraints.
**Resource Allocation Summary**: Allocate the entire budget to produce the maximum number of copies for each book, ensuring all minimum demands are met and the budget is not exceeded.
**Implementation Recommendations**: Produce 6000 copies of each book, monitor production costs to stay within budget, and ensure distribution meets the minimum demand requirements.
