15 MICROSOFT OFFICE EXCEL 2013

Microsoft Office Excel doesn’t have a function for every type of calculation we
perform. The designers of Excel couldn’t possibly complement every calculation
need of every user.

 15.4 SOLVER
To formulate this linear programming model, answer the following three questions.
1. What are the decisions to be made? For this problem, we need Excel to find out how
much to order of each product (bicycles, mopeds and child seats).
2. What are the constraints on these decisions? The constrains here are that the
amount of capital and storage used by the products cannot exceed the limited
amount of capital and storage (resources) available.
3. What is the overall measure of performance for these decisions? The overall
measure of performance is the total profit of the three products, so the objective is to
maximize this quantity.
