eLMS REVIEW: OPTIMIZATION

I. MULTIPLE CHOICE (5 items x 2 points)


A 1. Which optimization technique would most likely be used if a firm wants to manage the
progress of a project?
A. Network Analysis C. Linear Programming
B. Queuing Theory D. Decision Analysis

1)Answer: Network analysis (NA) is a


set of integrated techniques to depict
relations among actors and to analyze
the social structures that emerge from
the recurrence of these relations. The
basic assumption is that better
explanations of social phenomena are
yielded by analysis of the relations
among entities. Network analysis
provides the capacity to estimate
complex patterns of relationships and the
network structure can be analyze to
reveal core features of the network.

B 2. In an optimization problem, which of the following elements describes the limits on


the values that variables can take?
A. Decision variables C. Objective function
B. Functional constraint D. Feasible solution

2)Answer: Economic constraints are


external constraints imposed on a
company that can influence its success
or failure but are also often outside of a
company's control. Microeconomic
factors, such as supply and demand,
market size, and market potential, also
impose economic constraints on a
company. the process of optimizing an
objective function with respect to some
variables in the presence of constraints
on those variables.
D 3. Which of these would result to profit maximization?
A. MC = 0 C. MR < MC
B. MR > MC D. MR = MC

3)Answer: The Profit Maximization Rule


states that if a firm chooses to maximize
its profits, it must choose that level of
output where Marginal Cost (MC) is
equal to Marginal Revenue (MR) and
the Marginal Cost curve is rising. In
other words, it must produce at a level
where MC = MR

C 4. Which of these would result in minimization of average cost?


A. MC > AC C. MC = AC
B. MC < AC D. AC > TC

4)Answer: Marginal cost (MC) is the


extra cost incurred when one extra unit
of output is produced. Average product
(AC) is the total cost per unit of output.
When the MC is smaller the AC, the AC
decreases.

C 5. Which of these is the symbol for profit?


A. ∆ C. π
B. β D. λ

5)Answer: There is no concrete reason


available as to why the sign of Pi, Greek
letter π , is used to denote economic
profit. Pi(ππ) is a mathematical constant
which was originally the ratio of a circle's
circumference to its diameter. It is now
used to denote a variety of concepts from
economics, physics, and mathematics.
