One of the assumption of linear programming is there is only a single objective i.e. either maximising profit or minimising costs.
When a question state that the objective function is to maximise contribution. Is this the same as to maximise NPV when I define the function?
No it isn’t the same – contribution is not the same as NPV. (Contributions do not involve discounting!).
I cannot imagine that Paper AFM would ask about maximising contribution.
