5. A company with two different outlets manufactures musical instruments. Outlet 1

manufactures 10 guitars, 25 flutes and 15 violins per month. Outlet 2 manufactures 15
guitars, 15 flutes and 20 violins per month. If the monthly production cost for each guitar
is $48, each flute is $69, and each violin is $73, use suitable matrix operations to find the
total production costs for both outlets.
