7.1 The Optimal Solution to the Dual from the Optimal Simplex Tableau After solving the primal problem using the simplex method, we can read the optimal dual solution from the optimal simplex tableau. Let us consider the LPP for the firm FURNITURE. The optimal simplex tableau is as follows: 0 . 3 X 2 X2 0 S K Cj B.V. X X 0 S2 -1/18 S; 200 0 1 1/2 0 8 4 160 1 0 -1/2 1/9 0 1 0 S3 0 0 6 -2 48 Z 20 20/3 0 2240 7.1 The Optimal Solution to the Dual from the Optimal Simplex Tableau After solving the primal problem using the simplex method, we can read the optimal dual solution from the optimal simplex tableau.
