    Smallest costs. [Excel.Solver]

    Hello,

    I've been given a task and I think the most reasonable way to solve it
    is by using Excel's Solver. Those are conditions of this task:

    Some company needs to print 13000 posters. We've got 3 options:

    Company 1:

    <500 posters - $5,59 'per poster
    501-1400 - $5,31
    1401-1500 - $5,03
    >1500 - $4,59


    transportation costs = $1,97 'per poster

    Company 2:
    (it only takes orders between 5000 to 10000 posters)

    5000-1000 - $4,38

    transportation costs = $1,99

    Company 3:

    <2000 - $4,75
    2000-3000 - $4,35
    3000-6000 - $4,29
    6000-8000 - $4,23
    >8000 - $4,17


    transportation costs = $1,9


    Our job (or in fact Solver's job is to find quantitys that each
    Company will print which assure us the best price per poster - in other
    words: We want to print it as cheep as it's possible.


    Looking forward to your help,
    Bartosz Dlugokecki.

    Oh..

    there's a mistake.. "Company 3" transportation cost is $24, not $19.

    Sorry for that.
