Question 1

A systematic approach to model formulation is to first construct the

objective function before determining the decision variables.

Question 2

A constraint for a linear programming problem can never have a zero as

its right-hand-side value.

Question 3

Product mix problems cannot have "greater than or equal to" ()

constraints.

Question 4

In a transportation problem, a demand constraint (the amount of product

demanded at a given destination) is a less-than-or equal-to constraint ().

Question 5
In a balanced transportation model, supply equals demand such that all
constraints can be treated as equalities.

Question 6

In formulating a typical diet problem using a linear programming model,

we would expect most of the constraints to be related to calories.

Question 7

Small motors for garden equipment is produced at 4 manufacturing

facilities and needs to be shipped to 3 plants that produce different
garden items (lawn mowers, rototillers, leaf blowers). The company
wants to minimize the cost of transporting items between the facilities,
taking into account the demand at the 3 different plants, and the supply
at each manufacturing site. The table below shows the cost to ship one
unit between each manufacturing facility and each plant, as well as the
demand at each plant and the supply at each manufacturing facility.

What is the demand constraint for plant B?

Question 8

In a portfolio problem, X1, X2, and X3 represent the number of shares

purchased of stocks 1, 2, an 3 which have selling prices of $15, $47.25,
and $110, respectively. The investor has up to $50,000 to invest. The
stockbroker suggests limiting the investments so that no more than
$10,000 is invested in stock 2 or the total number of shares of stocks 2
and 3 does not exceed 350, whichever is more restrictive. How would
this be formulated as a linear programming constraint?

Question 9
The following types of constraints are ones that might be found in linear
programming formulations:
1.
2. =
3. >

In a portfolio problem, X1, X2, and X3 represent the number of shares

purchased of stocks 1, 2, an 3 which have selling prices of $15, $47.25,

account for more than 35% of the number of shares purchased. Which
constraint is correct?

Vinegar (V). He has a limited amount of the 3 ingredients used to
produce these chips available for his next production run: 4800 ounces

chips requires 2 ounces of salt, 6 ounces of flour, and 1 ounce of herbs to
produce; while a bag of Vinegar chips requires 3 ounces of salt, 8
ounces of flour, and 2 ounces of herbs. Profits for a bag of Lime chips
are $0.40, and for a bag of Vinegar chips $0.50.

two components and two types of gasoline. There are 8,000 gallons of
component 1 available, and the demand gasoline types 1 and 2 are
11,000 and 14,000 gallons respectively. Write the supply constraint for
component 1.

Question 19

Kitty Kennels provides overnight lodging for a variety of pets. An

attractive feature is the quality of care the pets receive, including well
balanced nutrition. The kennel's cat food is made by mixing two types of
cat food to obtain the "nutritionally balanced cat diet." The data for the
two cat foods are as follows:

Kitty Kennels wants to be sure that the cats receive at least 5 ounces of
protein and at least 3 ounces of fat per day. What is the cost of this plan?
Express your with two places to the right of the decimal point. For
instance, $9.32 (nine dollars and thirty-two cents) would be written as
9.32

Question 20
Quickbrush Paint Company makes a profit of $2 per gallon on its oil-
base paint and $3 per gallon on its water-base paint. Both paints contain
two ingredients, A and B. The oil-base paint contains 90 percent A and
10 percent B, whereas the water-base paint contains 30 percent A and 70
percent B. Quickbrush currently has 10,000 gallons of ingredient A and
5,000 gallons of ingredient B in inventory and cannot obtain more at this
time. The company wishes to use linear programming to determine the
appropriate mix of oil-base and water-base paint to produce to maximize
its total profit. How many gallons of oil based paint should the
Quickbrush make? Note: Please express your as a whole number,
rounding the nearest whole number, if appropriate.
