Question: Maximize Z = 0 . 0 8 X 1 + 0 . 0 9 X 2 Subject to X 1 > = $ 1 2

Maximize Z =0.08X1+0.09X2
Subject to
X1>= $125,000
X2<= $100,000
X1+ X2= $250,000
X1, X2>=0
Solve the above problem with the simplex method. Provide the value of the basic variables (BV) at tableau #3 and the optimal solution of the LP.
Notes:
Set M =100.
Tableau #1 is the initial tableau where an inconsistency exists on row z.
Tableau #2 is the tableau where the inconsistency on row z is fixed.
Set s2 as the slack variable for constraint 2.
The answers below use K to represent 1,000 units.
Select one:
BV: X1=125K, X2=100K, s1=125K | Optimal sol: X1=250K, X2=100K, Z =29K
BV: A1=125K, s2=100K, A2=250K | Optimal sol: X1=150K, X2=100K, Z =21K
None of the options provided
BV: A1=125K, s2=100K, A2=250K | Optimal sol: X1=200K, X2=100K, Z =25K
BV: X1=125K, s2=100K, A2=125K | Optimal sol: X1=150K, X2=100K, Z =21K
