Question 1: In a linear programming problem, all model parameters are assumed to be known with certainty.
Question 2: Graphical solutions to linear programming problems have an infinite number of possible objective function lines.
Question 3: In minimization LP problems the feasible region is always below the resource constraints.
Question 4: Surplus variables are only associated with minimization problems.
Question 5: If the objective function is parallel to a constraint, the constraint is infeasible.
Question 6: A linear programming model consists of only decision variables and constraints.
Question 7: A feasible solution violates at least one of the constraints.

Question 9: 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 maximum profit?

- $35000
- $45000
- $55000

Question 11: The production manager for the Coory soft drink company is considering the production of 2 kinds of soft drinks: regular and diet. Two of her limited resources are production time (8 hours = 480 minutes per day) and syrup (1 of her ingredients) 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. Profits for regular soft drink are $3.00 per case and profits for diet soft drink are $2.00 per case. For the production combination of 135 cases of regular and 0 cases of diet soft drink, which resources will not be completely used?
- only time
- only syrup
- time and syrup
- neither time nor syrup

- Max Z 5x2 + 2y2
- Max 3x + 3y + 1/3z
- Min (x1 + x2) / x3
Question 14: 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?

- MAX Z = $300M + $150 B
- MAX Z = $300B + $150 M
- MAX Z = $300B + $500 M

Question 17: The production manager for the Coory soft drink company is considering the production of 2 kinds of soft drinks: regular (R) and diet(D). 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. Profits for regular soft drink are $3.00 per case and profits for diet soft drink are $2.00 per case. What is the time constraint?
