Chapter 3, Problem 28P

a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way to minimize the total net cost incurred in meeting the demands for the next four months.

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 an unfeasible solution.

b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The lowest total cost when the initial inventory is 100 units.

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 an unfeasible solution.
