decision time Decision making is an important aspect of the Paper F5 syllabus‚ and questions on this topic will be common. The range of possible questions is considerable‚ but this article will focus on only one: linear programming. The ideas presented in this article are based on a simple example. Suppose a profit-seeking firm has two constraints: labour‚ limited to 16‚000 hours‚ and materials‚ limited to 15‚000kg. The firm manufactures and sells two products‚ X and Y. To make X‚ the firm uses

Spreadsheet Modeling and Excel Solver A mathematical model implemented in a spreadsheet is called a spreadsheet model. Major spreadsheet packages come with a built-in optimization tool called Solver. Now we demonstrate how to use Excel spreadsheet modeling and Solver to find the optimal solution of optimization problems. If the model has two variables‚ the graphical method can be used to solve the model. Very few real world problems involve only two variables. For problems with more than two variables
