A marketing research application uses the variable HD to represent the number of homeowners interviewed during the day. The objective function minimizes the cost of interviewing this and other categories and there is a constraint that HD > 100. The solution indicates that interviewing another homeowner during the day will increase costs by 10.00. What do you know? a. the objective function coefficient of HD is 10. b. the dual price for the HD constraint is 10. c. the objective function coefficient of HD is -10. d. the dual price for the HD constraint is -10. ANSWER: d TOPIC: Marketing research 4.

The dual price for a constraint that compares funds used with funds available is .058. This means that a. the cost of additional funds is 5.8%. b. if more funds can be obtained at a rate of 5.5%, some should be. c. no more funds are needed. d. the objective was to minimize. ANSWER: b TOPIC: Portfolio selection 5.

Let M be the number of units to make and B be the number of units to buy. If it costs $2 to make a unit and $3 to buy a unit and 4000 units are needed, the objective function is a. Max 2M + 3B b. Min 4000 (M + B) c. Max 8000M + 12000B d. Min 2M + 3B ANSWER: d TOPIC: Make or buy 6.

If Pij = the production of product i in period j, then to indicate that the limit on production of the company’s three products in period 2 is 400, a. P21 + P22 + P23 < 400 b. P12 + P22 + P32 < 400 c. P32 < 400 d. P23 < 400 ANSWER: b TOPIC: Production scheduling
