QUESTION 2
Crispiest Cookies Company produced three types of cookies- chocolate chip cookies, pecan and
sweet cookies. The three main ingredients in the cookies are chocolate chip, pecan, and sugar. The
following linear programming model has been developed for determining the number of batches of
chocolate chip cookies (x1), pecan cookies (x2) and sweet cookies (x3) to maximize the profit:
Answer 1
subject to
X1 + 2X2 + 0S1 = 40
X1,x2,S1,S2 > 0
Initial table
S2 leave, x2 enter
At this point, variables x2 and S2 are in solution. Not only are they listed in the basis, they also have a
0 in row C – Z. The solution at this point is x2 = 20, s2 = 60.
Complete tableu 2
The profit at this point is $1000, which is read in the Quantity column in row Z. Also, note that each
variable in solution has a unit vector in its column.
Question 2
Tableu 1
15 is key elements
S1 leave , x2 in
QUIZ 2
Interpreting the Second Tableau
At this point, variables x2 and S2 and s3 are in solution. Not only are they listed in the basis, they also
have a 0 in row C – Z. The solution at this point is x2 = 20, s2 = 20, S3 = 40
Tableu 2
The profit at this point is $240, which is read in the Quantity column in row Z. Also, note that each
variable in solution has a unit vector in its column.
