Question 1 The terms in the objective function or constraints are not additive.

Question 2 In a linear programming model, the number of constraints must be less than the number of decision variables. Correct Answer: False

Question 3 Non-negativity constraints restrict the decision variables to negative values. Correct Answer: False

Question 4 The region which satisfies all of the constraints in a graphical linear programming problem is called the Correct Answer: Question 5 Decision variables Correct Answer: measure how much or how many items to produce, purchase, hire, etc. feasible solution space

Question 6 Cully furniture buys 2 products for resale: big shelves (B) and medium shelves (M). Each big shelf costs $500 and requires 100 cubic feet of storage space, and each medium shelf costs $300 and requires 90 cubic feet of storage space. The company has $75000 to invest in shelves this week, and the warehouse has 18000 cubic feet available for storage. Profit for each big shelf is $300 and for each medium shelf is $150. What is the objective function? Correct Answer: Z = $300B + $150M

Question 9 A feasible solution violates at least one of the constraints. Correct Answer: False

Question 10 Decision models are mathematical symbols representing levels of activity. Correct Answer: False

Question 11 A constraint is a linear relationship representing a restriction on decision making. Correct Answer: True

Question 12 The production manager for the Coory soft drink company is considering the production of 2 kinds of soft drinks: regular and diet. Two of the limited resources are production time (8 hours = 480 minutes per day) and syrup limited to 675 gallons per day. To produce a regular case requires 2 minutes and 5 gallons of syrup, while a diet case needs 4 minutes and 3 gallons of syrup.
