The tableau is not optimal for either maximization or a minimization problem. Thus, when a nonbasic variable enters the solution it can either increase or decrease Z or leave it unchanged, depending on the parameters of the entering nonbasic variable.

1. Consider an instance of the Knapsack Problem without repetitions with 4 items, having
weights and values as follows. The weights (in pounds) are w1=2, w2 =7, w3 =10, w4 =12.
