A hot dog manufacturer wishes to minimize the cost in dollars of producing a low-cost niched product while meeting the dietary guidelines for protein and sodium. once the model has been run, the surplus variable in the sodium constraint has a value of 1300 milligrams. the best interpretation of this outcome is:

The minimum cost hot dog has 1300 milligrams more sodium than required.

Explanation:

Since in the question it is mentioned that the manufactured of a hot dog wants to minimize the cost in terms of dollars for generating the less cost at the same time the guidelines for the dietary would be meet

Also the surplus variable, the amount would be 1,300 milligrams

So here we interpret is the cost i.e. minimum is needed more sodium and hence the same is to be considered
