Chapter 5, Problem 67P

a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way to minimize the sum of penalty and shipping cost.

Introduction: In linear programming, the unbounded solution would occur when the objective function is infinite. If no solution satisfied the constraints, then it is said to be unfeasible solution.

b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way the change in penalty cost affects the optimal cost.

Introduction: In linear programming, the unbounded solution would occur when the objective function is infinite. If no solution satisfied the constraints then it is said to be unfeasible solution.

c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way the change in warehouse capacity affects the optimal cost.

Introduction: In linear programming, the unbounded solution would occur when the objective function is infinite. If no solution satisfied the constraints, then it is said to be unfeasible solution.
