  • s
  • = 20, s 2 = 0, s 3 = 0, s 4 = 45

d) If x

  • is selected as the entering basic
  • variable, Z will increase by 20 for every unit of x

  • entered into the solution.

e) This solution is not optimal because there

are positive values in the c j − zj row.

  • Minimization; because “z
  • j − cj” and a positive “M” in the objective function.

  • x
  • = 0
  • “M/6 − 5/3” has no real meaning since it
  • includes “M”; it simply represents a large net decrease in cost if s

  • is entered into the solution.
  • two; since there are two artificial variables
  • remaining in the tableau, it will take at least two more tableaus to eliminate them, and they must be eliminated to insure a feasible solution.

  • no; because there are positive values in the
  • z j − cj row.
