1. The global optimum solution to a nonlinear programming problems (NLP), in which the objective function must be minimized, is:

a. always smaller than the local optimum solution

b. is larger or equal to the local optimum solution

c. is smaller or equal to the local optimum solution

d. always larger than the local optimum solution

2. In solving the NLP problem, Solver produced a message "Solver cannot improve the current solution. All constraints are satisfied." This means that Solver found:

a. a global optimal solution

b. a local optimal solution

c. a degenerate model

d. the objective function changed very slowly for the last few iterations

3. The global optimum solution to a nonlinear programming problems (NLP), in which the objective function must be minimized, is:

a. always smaller than the local optimum solution

b. is larger or equal to the local optimum solution

c. is smaller or equal to the local optimum solution

d. always larger than the local optimum solution

4. The Lagrange multipliers can be used to

a. estimate the impact of a small change in the RHS of the constraints on the shadow prices

b. estimate the impact of an arbitrary change in the RHS of the constraints on the objective function

c. estimate the impact of a large change in the RHS of the constraints on the shadow prices

d. estimate the impact of a small change in the RHS of the constraints on the objective function

5. For a job sharing arrangement to be? successful, the employees must

A. trust their? manager, who is a key link in their relationship.

B. be compatible.

C. communicate well with each other.

D. All of the above.

6. Workplace flexibility or? work–life balance programs are becoming popular in organizations because

A. they are easy to implement.

B. employees are more satisfied and more likely to stay with a company if their programs allow them to meet their personal obligations.

C. employers often see greater productivity as these programs solve problems that prevent employees from focusing on their work.

D. both b and c.
