4 11 Spreadsheet Example 2 REVIEW 1. A mathematical programming problem is one that seeks to maximize an objective function subject to constraints. If both the objective function and the constraints are linear‚ the problem is referred to as a linear programming problem. 2. Linear functions are functions in which each variable appears in a separate term raised to

Cadbury Schweppes is an important player in the American soft drink market where American consumers drink more soft drinks than tap water. In conjunction with population growth and rising per capita consumption there was an estimated $43 billion in retail sales in 1989. However‚ trend data suggests that sales of diet drinks accounted for a large portion of the overall growth of carbonated drink sales in the 1980’s with supermarket sales the key to successful soft drink marketing. Despite being the

of a variable is equivalent to maximizing the variable itself. Therefore ln(Q)=(2/3)ln(L)+(1/3)ln(K)‚ a more convenient expression‚ is the same as maximizing Q. Therefore the objective function for the optimization problem is ln(Q)=(2/3)ln(L)+(1/3)ln(K). Step 1: Form the Langrangian function by subtracting from the objective function a multiple of the difference between the cost of the resources and the budget allowed for resources; i.e.‚ G= ln(Q) - λ(wL+rK-C) G= (2/3)ln(L) + (1/3)ln(K) - λ(wL+rK-C)
