CHAPTER 2 LINEAR PROGRAMMING: BASIC CONCEPTS

2-36 A manager
should know the following things about linear programming.
a. What it is.
b. When it should be used.
c. When it should not be used.
d. How to interpret the results of a
study.
e. All
of the above.
2-37 Which of the
following is not a component of a linear programming model?
a. Constraints.
b. Decision variables.
c. Parameters.
d. An objective.
e. A
spreadsheet.
2-38 In linear
programming, solutions that satisfy all of the constraints simultaneously are
referred to as:
a. optimal.
b. feasible.
c. nonnegative.
d. targeted.
e. All of the above.
2-39 When
formulating a linear programming problem on a spreadsheet, which of the
following is true?
a. Parameters are called data cells.
b. Decision variables are called
changing cells.
c. Nonnegativity constraints must be
included.
d. The objective function is called
the objective cell.
e. All
of the above.
