Assignment 3: LP Word Problems
Date given: Feb 1, 01
Date due: Thursday, Feb 8, 01  (beginning of class)

For each problem listed below, write out an algebraic linear program, andsolve using Solver.
Submit both formulation and printout of computer solution, with Solver dialog box.

Use the "standard" format, starting with clear definitions of the decision variables as  numbers.
For example, write "x1 = number of regular bicycles  producedin oneweek," not
"x1 = regular". Give this kind of definition for every variable.
Once you have defined the variables, write the problem out in the form:
                                                  Minimize
                                                    or                 Objective Function
                                                  Maximize
                                                  subject to
                                                                        Constraint 1
                                                                        Constraint 2
                                                                        etc.
Customarily, the constraints involving more than one decision variableare listed first, followed by the simpler constraints like "x1>0".
