Chapter 3, Problem 25P

a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The daily production plan which would minimize the cost of meeting the daily demand of the company.

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