1. When the linear programming problem includes a constraint for minimum sales demand for a product, there may be a surplus for sales demand in the optimal solution.
– Could you explain how this statement is correct about linear programming?
-If we have a minimum sales demand, how can we have a surplus of sales demand in the optimum solution? Does this statement saying that if we have a minimum sales demand of 10 units, then the optimum solution can be 12 units? Therefore 2 units surplus?
Thanks.
Yes – that is what it means. The optimal demand is more than the minimum demand allowed.
