Question

Can someone help me out with this? Pretty sure I have the concept right, it's just worth 18 pts on a test and I can't get it wrong. Thank you in advance, I rate and reward well.

Formulate the situation in matrix form. Be sure to indicate the meaning of your rows and columns. Find the requested quantities using the appropriate matrix arithmetic. A sports apparel company manufactures shorts, tee shirts, and caps in Costa Rica and Honduras for importation and sale in the United States. In Costa Rica the labor costs per item are 70C per pair of shorts, 30C per tee shirt, and 50C per cap, while the costs of the necessary materials are $1.70 per pair of shorts, 85C per tee shirt, and $1.15 per cap. In Honduras the labor costs per item are 75C per pair of shorts, 25C per tee shirt, and 55C per cap, while the costs of the necessary materials are $1.50 per pair of shorts, 80C per tee shirt, and $1.05 per cap. Represent these costs as a labor cost matrix L and a materials cost matrix M. Use these matrices to find the total cost matrix C for these products in these countries. (Let the first row represent the cost, in pennies, in Costa Rica and the second row represent the cost, in pennies, in Honduras.)
