Question
Chapter B, Problem 3DQ
Summary Introduction
To define: Thefeasible region of a graphical linear programming problem and the feasible solution.
Introduction:
Linear programming:
It is a linear optimization technique followed to develop a best outcome for the problem in hand. The outcome might be of maximum profit or less cost which are represented by a linear relationship. The outcome will take into consideration the constraints present in achieving the solution.

Develop a decision analysis formulation of this problem by identifying the decision alternatives, state of nature, and the payoff table.
Formulate decision variable, objective function, and constraints only.
Eastborne Realty has $2 million available for the purchase of new rental property. After an initial screening, Eastborne reduced the investment alternatives to townhouses and apartment buildings. Each townhouse can be purchased for $282,000, and five are available. Each apartment building can be purchased for $400,000, and the developer will construct as many buildings as Eastborne wants to purchase.
Eastborne’s property manager can devote up to 140 hours per month to these new properties; each townhouse is expected to require 4 hours per month, and each apartment building is expected to require 40 hours per month. The annual cash flow, after deducting mortgage payments and operating expenses, is estimated to be $10,000 per townhouse and $15,000 per apartment building. Eastborne’s owner would like to determine the number of townhouses and the number of apartment buildings to purchase to maximize annual cash flow.
How do linear programming, the linear decision rule, thesearch decision rule, and the management coefficients modeldiffer in terms of cost functions and output?

The Research and Development Division of the Progres- sive Company has been developing four possible new product lines. Management must now make a decision as to which of these four products actually will be produced and at what levels. Therefore, an operations research study has been requested to find the most profitable product mix. A substantial cost is associated with beginning the production of any product, as given in the first row of the following table. Management's objective is to find the product mix that maximizes the total profit (total net revenue minus start-up costs).
