Explanation “Procedure used: Selecting Basic and Non-basic Variables for the Simplex Method. Given a simplex tableau. Step 1: Numbers of variables- Determine the number of basic variables and the number of non-basic variables. These numbers do not change during the simplex process. Step 2: Selecting basic variables - A variable can be selected as a basic variable only if it corresponds to a column in the tableau that has exactly one nonzero element (usually 1) and the nonzero element in the column is not in the same row as the nonzero element in the column of another basic variable. This procedure always selects P as a basic variable, since the P column never changes during the simplex process. Step 3: Selecting non-basic variables - After the basic variables are selected in step 2, the remaining variables are selected as the non-basic variables. The tableau columns under the non-basic variables usually contain more than one nonzero element. Selecting the Pivot Element: Step 1: Locate the most negative indicator in the bottom row of the tableau to the left of the P column (the negative number with the largest absolute value). The column containing this element is the pivot column. If there is a tie for the most negative indicator, choose either column. Step 2: Divide each positive element in the pivot column above the dashed line into the corresponding element in the last column. The pivot row is the row corresponding to the smallest quotient obtained. If there is a tie for the smallest quotient, choose either row. If the pivot column above the dashed line has no positive elements, there is no solution, and stop. Step 3: The pivot (or pivot element) is the element at the intersection of the pivot column and pivot row. Performing a Pivot Operation: A pivot operation, or pivoting, consists of performing row operations as follows: Step 1: Multiply the pivot row by the reciprocal of the pivot element to transform the pivot element into a 1. (If the pivot element is already a 1, omit this step.) Step 2: Add multiples of the pivot row to other rows in the tableau to transform all other nonzero elements in the pivot column into 0's”. Calculation: The investor must decide on the amount of investment in each type of investment order to maximize the return. So, the decision variables are; x 1 = Investment in government bonds x 2 = Investment in mutual funds x 3 = Investment in money market funds The investment in mutual funds, money market fund should not exceed the government bonds, for such condition considering that about 50% amount is invested in the government bonds it means x 1 + x 3 ≤ 50 , 000 given that the total amount of the investment is $100,000. Here, the investment and the amount for investment is: − x 1 + x 2 + x 3 ≤ 0 x 1 + x 2 + x 3 ≤ 100 , 000 Return on each investment is given by: P = 0.08 x 1 + 0.13 x 2 + 0.15 x 3 Adding the nonnegative constraints, the model for the linear programming problem is: Maximize P = 0.08 x 1 + 0.13 x 2 + 0.15 x 3 subject to − x 1 + x 2 + x 3 ≤ 0 x 1 + x 2 + x 3 ≤ 100 , 000 x 1 , x 2 , x 3 ≥ 0 To convert the problem constraints into a system of equations slack variables is used. Since there are m = 2 problem constraints, so it needs two slack variables s 1 , s 2 to convert the inequality into equality. x 1 x 2 + x 3 + s 1 = 100, 000 − x 1 + x 2 + x 3 + s 2 = 0 − 0.08 x 1 − 0.13 x 2 − 0.15 x 3 + P = 0 Form the simplex tableau: x 1 x 2 x 3 s 1 s 2 P s 1 s 2 P [ 1 1 1 1 0 0 100 , 000 − 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 − 0.08 − 0.13 − 0.15 0 0 1 0 ] A variable can be selected as a basic variable only if it corresponds to a column in the tableau that has exactly one nonzero element (usually 1) and the nonzero element in the column is not in the same row as the nonzero element in the column of another basic variable. So, the basic variables are s 1 , s 2 , P . And non-basic variables are x 1 , x 2 , x 3 . To select the pivot column, select the most negative number in the bottom row of the tableau and to the left of the P column. The column containing this element is the pivot column . If there is a tie for the most negative indicator, choose either column. Hence, the third column is the pivot column. To select the pivot row, check for the smallest quotient for each row above the dashed line. If there is a tie for the smallest quotient, choose either row. 100 , 000 1 = 100 , 000 0 1 = 0 So, the second row is selected as the pivot row. The element at the intersection of the pivot column and the pivot row is called the pivot element. x 1 x 2 x 3 s 1 s 2 P s 1 s 2 P [ 1 1 1 1 0 0 100 , 000 − 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 − 0.08 − 0.13 − 0.15 0 0 1 0 ] So, the element enclosed in rectangle 1 is the pivot element
