This assignment has three problems, of equal weight. For each problem:

• write an algebraic LP formulation, with clear definitions of decision variables and explanations of constraints
• solve numerically (using MAPLE, EXCEL, MATLAB or whatever)
• write the optimal solution and optimal value
• write the dual problem, and give an economic interpretation
• obtain an optimal solution of the dual problem.
