Chapter B, Problem 16P

a)

Summary Introduction

To define: The objective function and constraints using linear programming.

Introduction:

Linear programming:

It is a linear optimization technique followed to develop the best outcome for the linear programming problem. The outcome might be to maximize profit, minimize cost, or to determine the optimal product mix. The outcome will take the constraints present in achieving the solution into consideration.

b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The optimal solution.
