The Linear Programming Problem Whose Output Follows Determines How Many

question 41

Short Answer

The linear programming problem whose output follows determines how many red nail polishes, blue nail polishes, green nail polishes, and pink nail polishes a beauty salon should stock. The objective function measures profit; it is assumed that every piece stocked will be sold. Constraint 1 measures display space in units, constraint 2 measures time to set up the display in minutes. Constraints 3 and 4 are marketing restrictions.
MAX    100x1 + 120x2 + 150x3 + 125x4
Subject to    1. x1 + 2x2 + 2x3 + 2x4 ? 108
      2. 3x1 + 5x2 + x4 ? 120
      3. x1 + x3 ? 25
      4. x2 + x3 + x4 > 50
      x1, x2, x3, x4 ? 0
Optimal Solution:
Objective Function Value = 7475.000
$$\begin{array} { c c c } \text { Variable } & \text { Value } & \text { Reduced Costs } \\\hline \text { X1 } & 8 & 0 \\\text { X2 } & 0 & 5 \\\text { X3 } & 17 & 0 \\\text { X4 } & 33 & 0 \\\hline\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array} { c c c } \text { Constraint } & \text { Slack/Surplus } & \text { Dual Prices } \\\hline 1 & 0 & 75 \\2 & 63 & 0 \\3 & 0 & 25 \\4 & 0 & - 25 \\\hline\end{array}$$ Objective Coefficient Ranges
$$\begin{array} { c c c c } \text { Variable } & \text { Lower Limit } & \text { Current Value } & \text { Upper Limit } \\\hline \text { X1 } & 87.5 & 100 & \text { none } \\\text { X2 } & \text { none } & 120 & 125 \\\text { X3 } & 125 & 150 & 162 \\\text { X4 } & 120 & 125 & 150\end{array}$$ Right Hand Side Ranges
$$\begin{array} { c c c c } \text { Constraint } & \text { Lower Limit } & \text { Current Value } & \text { Upper Limit } \\\hline 1 & 100 & 108 & 123.75 \\2 & 57 & 120 & \text { none } \\3 & 8 & 25 & 58 \\4 & 41.5 & 50 & 54 \\\hline\end{array}$$
