I Purchasing Cheapskate Electronics Store needs to update its inventory of stereos, TVs, and DVD players. There are three suppliers it can buy from: Nadir offers a bundle consisting of 5 stereos, 10 TVs, and 15 DVD players for \(\$ 3,000\). Blunt offers a bundle consisting of 10 stereos, \(10 \mathrm{TVs}\), and 10 DVD players for \(\$ 4,000\). Sonny offers a bundle consisting of 15 stereos, \(10 \mathrm{TVs}\), and 10 DVD players for \(\$ 5,000\). Cheapskate Electronics needs at least 150 stereos, \(200 \mathrm{TVs}\), and 150 DVD players. How can it update its inventory at the least possible cost? What is the least possible cost?
Create a linear programming problem in two variables that has more than one optimal solution.
To ensure that the dual of a minimization problem will result in a standard maximization problem, (A) the primal problem should satisfy the non-negative objective condition. (B) the primal problem should be a standard minimization problem. (C) the primal problem should not satisfy the non-negative objective condition.
Describe at least one drawback to using the graphical method to solve a linear programming problem arising from a real-life situation.
Finance Senator Porkbarrel habitually overdraws his three bank accounts, at the Congressional Integrity Bank, Citizens' Trust, and Checks R Us. There are no penalties because the overdrafts are subsidized by the taxpayer. The Senate Ethics Committee tends to let slide irregular banking activities as long as they are not flagrant. At the moment (due to Congress" preoccupation with a Supreme Court nominee), a total overdraft of up to \(\$ 10,000\) will be overlooked. Porkbarrel's conscience makes him hesitate to overdraw accounts at banks whose names include expressions like "integrity" and "citizens' trust." The effect is that his overdrafts at the first two banks combined amount to no more than one-quarter of the total. On the other hand, the financial officers at Integrity Bank, aware that Senator Porkbarrel is a member of the Senate Banking Committee, "suggest" that he overdraw at least \(\$ 2,500\) from their bank. Find the amount he should overdraw from each bank in order to avoid investigation by the Ethics Committee and overdraw his account at Integrity by as much as his sense of guilt will allow.
