Question
Chapter 3, Problem 44P
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether the optimal value of the objective guaranteed to decrease under the given situation.
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.

- (d) If the number of fan motors available for production is increased by 35, will the dual value for that constraint change? Explain. Yes, the dual value will change because 35 is greater than the allowable increase of 12. Yes, the dual value will change because 35 is greater than the allowable increase of 5. No, the dual value will not change because there is no upper limit to how much the constraint can increase. No, the dual value will not change because 35 is less than the allowable increase of 265.arrow_forwardDickie Hustler has $2 and is going to toss an unfair coin(probability .4 of heads) three times. Before each toss, hecan bet any amount of money (up to what he now has). Ifheads comes up, Dickie wins the number of dollars he bets;if tails comes up, he loses the number of dollars he bets.Use dynamic programming to determine a strategy thatmaximizes Dickie’s probability of having at least $5 afterthe third coin toss.arrow_forwardIn robust optimization, what is meant by the term "hard constraint"? Multiple Choice A constraint that is not violated. A constraint that has a shadow price of zero. A constraint that can be violated slightly without serious repercussions. A constraint that can be violated dramatically without serious repercussions. A constraint that cannot be violated.arrow_forward
- Innis Investments manages funds for a number of companies and wealthy clients. The investment strategy is tailored to each client's needs. For a new client, Innis has been authorized to invest up to $1.2 million in two investment funds: a stock fund and a money market fund. Each unit of the stock fund costs $50 and provides an annual rate of return of 10%; each unit of the money market fund costs $100 and provides an annual rate of return of 4%. The client wants to minimize risk subject to the requirement that the annual income from the investment be at least $60,000. According to Innis' risk measurement system, each unit invested in the stock fund has a risk index of 8, and each unit invested in the money market fund has a risk index of 3. The higher risk index associated with the stock fund simply indicates that it is the riskier investment. Innis's client also specified that at least $300,000 be invested in the money market fund.
