A)$\text { MIN } d_{3}^{+}$
B)$\mathrm{d}_{3}^{-} \geq 1000$
C)$\mathrm{d}_{3}{ }^{+}=1000$
D)$\mathrm{d}_{3}{ }^{+} \leq 1000$

C)$\mathrm{d}_{3}{ }^{+}=1000$ 
D)$\mathrm{d}_{3}{ }^{+} \leq 1000$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The formula $\mathrm{d}_{3}{ }^{+} \leq 1000$ ensures that the positive deviation from the budget constraint does not exceed $1000, thus meeting the manager's objective.
