The following questions use the information below.
A student wants to buy a new car. She has three cars to choose from, A, B and C. The cars differ with respect to price, performance and looks. The student has developed the following AHP tables for price and summary. The other tables are not shown due to space limitations.
-If the following project must be completed by day 18 at minimum cost how do we change the LP model?
A) Enter 18 in cell E14.
B) Add a constraint that E14 ≤ 18.
C) Make cell E14 the target cell.
D) Add a constraint that E14 = 18.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To ensure that the project must be completed by day 18, we need to add a constraint. Option B adds the constraint E14 ≤ 18, which limits the duration of the project to 18 days or fewer. This will minimize the cost of the project while ensuring that it is completed within the given time frame. Options A and D are incorrect because they do not add a constraint to the model. Option C is incorrect because E14 is already the target cell in the LP model.
