Problem A-7
|
You are trying to create a budget to optimize the use of a portion of your disposable income. You have a maximum of $2,300 per month to be allocated to food, shelter, and entertainment. The amount spent on food and shelter combined must not exceed $1,400. The amount spent on shelter alone must not exceed $900. Entertainment cannot exceed $700 per month. Each dollar spent on food has a satisfaction value of 6, each dollar spent on shelter has a satisfaction value of 2, and each dollar spent on entertainment has a satisfaction value of 8. |

Assuming a linear relationship, use the Excel Solver to determine the optimal allocation of your funds. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.) |
