    Justify Linear Programming Statements : Equality Constraints

    For each statement, state whether it is true or false. Be sure to justify your answer. a) Suppose you are given a linear program in Rn with mE equality constraints and mI inequality constraints. Let x be an element of the polyhedron at which n - mE inequality constraints are active. Then x must be an extreme point of the poly

    Linear Programming : Minimizing Net Cost

    A customer requires during the next four months, respectively, 50, 65, 100, and 70 units of a commodity (no backlogging is allowed). Production costs are $5, $8, $4, and $7 per unit during these months. The storage cost from one month to the next is $2 per unit (assessed on ending inventory). It is estimated that each unit o

    Linear Programming : Maximizing Profit

    My Oil Company has 5,000 barrels 1 of oil and 10,000 barrels of oil 2. The company sells two products: gasoline and heating oil. Both products are produced by combining oil 1 and oil 2. The quality level of each oil is as follows: oil 1 -- 10; oil 2 -- 5. Gasoline must have and average quality level of at least 8, and heati

    Linear Programming - Investment and Debt : Maximizing NPV

    I have to determine how much investment and debt to undertake during the next year. Each dollar invested reduces the NPV of my company by 10 cents, and each dollar of debt increases the NPV by 50 cents (due to deductibility of interest payments). I can invest at most $1 million during the coming year. Debt can be at most 40%

    Linear Programming : Minimizing Wages of Parking Lot Attendants

    Each day workers at Sprinfield Mall parking lot work two 6 hour shifts from 12 A.M. to 6 A.M., 6 A.M. to 12 P.M., 12 P.M. to 6 P.M., and 6 P.M. to 12 A.M. The following number of workers are needed during each shift: 12 A.M. to 6 A.M. - 15 workers; 6 A.M. to 12 P.M. - 5 workers; 12 P.M. to 6 P.M. - 12 workers; 6 P.M. to 12
