Question
Chapter 3, Problem 44P
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether the optimal value of the objective guaranteed to decrease under the given situation.
Introduction: In linear programming, the unbounded solution would occur when the objective function is infinite. If no solution satisfied the constraints, then it is said to be an unfeasible solution.

(d) If the number of fan motors available for production is increased by 35, will the dual value for that constraint change? Explain.
Yes, the dual value will change because 35 is greater than the allowable increase of 12.
Yes, the dual value will change because 35 is greater than the allowable increase of 5.
No, the dual value will not change because there is no upper limit to how much the constraint can increase.
No, the dual value will not change because 35 is less than the allowable increase of 265.

Before each toss, hecan bet any amount of money (up to what he now has).

- Innis Investments manages funds for a number of companies and wealthy clients. The investment strategy is tailored to each client's needs. For a new client, Innis has been authorized to invest up to $1.2 million in two investment funds: a stock fund and a money market fund. Each unit of the stock fund costs $50 and provides an annual rate of return of 10%; each unit of the money market fund costs $100 and provides an annual rate of return of 4%. The client wants to minimize risk subject to the requirement that the annual income from the investment be at least $60,000. According to Innis' risk measurement system, each unit invested in the stock fund has a risk index of 8, and each unit invested in the money market fund has a risk index of 3. The higher risk index associated with the stock fund simply indicates that it is the riskier investment. Innis's client also specified that at least $300,000 be invested in the money market fund.

Heat from the first turbine’s exhaust is captured to heat waterand produce steam sent to a second steam turbine that generates additional electricity. A 968-megawatt combined-cycle gas fired plant can be purchased for $450 million, has no salvage value, and produces a net cash flow(revenues less expenses) of $50 million per year over its expected 30-year life. Solve, a. If the hurdle rate (MARR) is 12% per year, how profitable an investment is this power plant? b. What is the simple payback period for the plant? Is this investment acceptable?arrow_forward

The probability ofselling more than 4 bicycles a day is only .40. If the numberof bicycles sold is greater than 4, the distribution of sales isas shown in Table 20. The shop has four different models ofbicycles. The amount of the bonus paid out varies by type.The bonus for model A is $10; 40% of the bicycles sold areof this type. Model B accounts for 35% of the sales andpays a bonus of $15. Model C has a bonus rating of $20 andmakes up 20% of the sales. Finally, model D pays a bonusof $25 for each sale but accounts for only 5% of the sales.Develop a simulation model to calculate the bonus asalesperson can expect in a day.arrow_forward
