Explanation of Solution

Linear Programming (LP) formulation:

  • The following example of LP is to show that it has more than one optimal solution.
  • It also contains nondegenerate basic feasible solution and there is non-basic variable in row 0 with a zero coefficient.
    • max z=6x1+4x2
  • Such that
    • x1+2x216
    • 3x1+2x224
    • x1,x20
  • Solving by the simplex method, the initial table is,
  cj6400Ratio
cjxjBjx1x2S1S2(Bix1)
0S116121016
0S22432018
  zjcj-6-400 
  • Here x1 will enter as it is the greatest negative value

Consider that there are four items that can fit inside a 13-pound-capacity backpack. The respective weights of the items are 5.7, 4, and 3 pounds. Their respective utilities are 8, 11, 6, and 4 utils. Determine the optimal solution that maximizes the overall usefulness of the backpack.
Two investments with varying cash flows (in thousands of dollars) are available, as shown in the table below. At time 0, $10,000 is available for investment, and at time 1, $7,000 is available. Assuming that r 0.10, set up an LP whose solution maximizes the NPV obtained from these investments. Graphically find the optimal solution to the LP.
