 Use this information to answer the following questions. An insurance company has three secretaries,A,B,and C that each is capable of processing four different types of insurance claims.The amount of time required by each secretary to process a particular type of a claim is summarized in the following table.     On a typical week,the insurance firm has 5 type 1 claims,4 type 2 claims,2 type 3 claims,and 3 type 4 claims.Each secretary works a maximum of 40 hours per week.The office manager wants to know how many of each type of an insurance claim should be processed by each secretary to minimize the total processing time.   \begin{array}{ccccccc} \hline \text { Cell } & \text { Name } & \begin{array}{c} \text { Final } \\ \text { Value } \end{array} & \begin{array}{c} \text { Reduced } \\ \text { Cost } \end{array} & \begin{array}{c} \text { Objective } \\ \text { Coefficient } \end{array} & \begin{array}{c} \text { Allowable } \\ \text { Increase } \end{array} & \begin{array}{c} \text { Allowable } \\ \text { Decrease } \end{array} \\ \hline \text { SC\$13 } & \text { A1 } & 5 & 0 & 2 & 1 & 1 \mathrm{E}+30 \\ \hline \text { SD\$13 } & \text { A2 } & 0 & 1 & 3 & 1 \mathrm{E}+30 & 1 \\ \hline\text { SE\$13 } & \text { A3 } & 0 & 1 & 2 & 1 \mathrm{E}+30 & 1 \\ \hline \text { SF\$13 } & \text { A4 } & 0 & 3 & 4 & 1 \mathrm{E}+30 & 3 \\ \hline \text { SC\$14 } & \text { B1 } & 0 & 2 & 4 & 1 \mathrm{E}+30 & 2 \\ \hline\text { SD\$14 } & \text { B2 } & 0 & 3 & 5 & 1 \mathrm{E}+30 & 3 \\ \hline \text { SE\$14 } & \text { B3 } & 0 & 2 & 3 & 1 \mathrm{E}+30 & 2 \\ \hline \text { SF\$14 } & \text { B4 } & 3 & 0 & 1 & 3 & 1 \mathrm{E}+30 \\ \hline\text { SC\$15 } & \text { C1 } & 0 & 1 & 3 & 1 \mathrm{E}+30 & 1 \\ \hline\text { SD\$15 } & \text { C2 } & 4 & 0 & 2 & 1 & 1 \mathrm{E}+30 \\ \hline\text { SE\$15 } & \text { C3 } & 2 & 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 \mathrm{E}+30 \\ \hline\text { SF\$15 } & \text { C4 } & 0 & 4 & 5 & 1 \mathrm{E}+30 & 4 \\ \hline \end{array}     \begin{array}{l} \text { Constraints }\\ \begin{array} { l l c c c c c }  \hline \text { Cell } & \text { Name } & \begin{array} { c }  \text { Final } \\ \text { Value } \end{array} & \begin{array} { c }  \text { Shadow } \\ \text { Price } \end{array} & \begin{array} { c }  \text { Constraint } \\ \text { R.H.
