Goal 2 Use at most 50 hours daily of X-ray time. Goal 3 Use at most 40 hours daily of laboratory time. The cost per unit deviation from each goal is as follows: Goal 1 Cost of $1 for each dollar by which profit goal is unmet Goal 2 Cost of $10 for each hour by which X-ray goal is unmet Goal 3 Cost of $8 for each hour by which laboratory goal is unmet Formulate a goal programming model to minimize the daily cost incurred due to failing to meet the hospital
