Question one
In the following transportation model, use the northwest-corner method to find the starting solution.
Question two
Jo-Shop needs to assign four jobs it received to 4 workers. The varying skills of the workers give rise to varying costs for performing the jobs. Table 2 summarizes the cost data of the assignments. The data indicate that worker 1 cannot work on job 3, and worker 3 cannot work on job 4.
Question: Determine the optimal assignment.
Question three
Answer one of the following questions (question 1 or 2):
1- The Midwest TV Cable Company is in the process of providing cable service to ten new housing development areas. Figure 1 depicts the potential TV linkages among the five areas. The cable miles are shown on each branch.
Question: apply the Minimal Spanning tree to determine the most economical cable network.
2- Determine the shortest route between node 1 and node 8 in the network of Figure2.
Question four
Consider the following problem.
Max Z = 7x1 + 4x2
Subject to
6x1 +4x2 ≤ 24
x1 + 2x2 ≤ 6
x1+ 2x2 ≥ 4
x2 ≤ 2
x1, x2 ≥ 0
1. Apply the graphical method to find the optimal solution to the linear programming problem above.
2. What is the effect of changing the constraint; x2 ≤ 2 to x2 ≤ 5 on the optimal solution found in the previous question?
