The highest negative number in the last row is -6. The pivot is determined by division

Pivot is therefore and now becomes z since it has the least ratio

Determining y using Q

From the table we get the variable values as:

The objective function is

The pivot now is =y

2. a)

The problem is balanced, because the total supply is equivalent to the demand

Demand = 20+56+40=116

Supply=34+57+25=116
