The Linear Programming Problem Whose Output Follows Determines How Many

question 42

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
$$\begin{array} { c c c c } \text { Constraint } & \text { Lower Limit } & \text { Current Value } & \text { Upper Limit } \\\hline 1 & 100 & 108 & 123.75 \\2 & 57 & 120 & \text { none } \\3 & 8 & 25 & 58 \\4 & 41.5 & 50 & 54 \\\hline\end{array}$$

Definitions:

IP Address

A type of network adapter address used when multiple networks are linked. Known as a Layer 3 address, in IPv4 it is a 32-bit binary number with groups of 8 bits separated by a dot. This numbering scheme is also known as dotted-decimal notation. Each 8-bit group represents numbers from 0 to 255. An example of an IPv4 IP address is 113.19.12.102. Also see IPv4 and IPv6.

Network Number

The portion of an IP address that represents which network the computer is on.

WLAN

Stands for Wireless Local Area Network, it is a network that allows devices to connect and communicate wirelessly within a limited area like a home, school, or office building.

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a network management protocol used to automate the process of configuring devices on IP networks, assigning unique IP addresses to each device.
