Procedure:
Step 1:
To enter into MS-Excel Sheet, Use the command
Start Programs MS office MS Excel.
Step 2:
Type this example of Column A values into a new spread sheet; to calculate the EOB (Economic order
batch size)
Note:
√ 2 KDR
h(R−D)
K = $200, h = $500, D = 10,000 units per year, and R = 25,000 unit per year.
Step 3:
Enter the parameter values in the cell range C2:C5, calculate the EOB.
RESULT:
The batch size that minimizes cost is 115.47 computers. Thus, we should produce 115 or 116
computers in each batch.
Exercise No. 17
PORTFOLIO SELECTION
Aim:
To use linear programming to create the maximum returns portfolio using MS-Excel.
Problem formulation of a portfolio selection problem as a linear program is as follows:
Maximize r1x1 + r2x2 +r3x3 (Maximum – return objective)
Subject to
Step 2:
In Excel, create a worksheet that presents the three beta coefficients, the three rates of return, three trial
properties values, the objective function, the total beta constraint, and the total proportion constraint.
Step 4:
Filling out the Solver dialog box.
Fill-in all the necessary information in the Solver dialog box as follows:
1. Set the target equal to the cell that contains the total return,
2. Specify Max as the type of objective,
3. Specify the cells containing the proportion values as Changingcells,
4. Click Add to add the three constraints,
5. Select Simplex LP as the Solving Method,
6. Click on Solve to get the solution.
7. After execution is complete, select to Keep the Solver Solution.
Step 5:
Excel will revise the proportions in column J, and the total return in K13.
Choose the report type Answer, Sensitivity report or Limit for final result, save the file and Click Ok.
OUTPUT:
RESULT:
These correspond to the proportions that maximize the total return (optimal solution), and the
maximize return (optimal value).
