Checking for Optimality
The new basic feasible solution is
,
,
, and
, which yields
.
This ends iteration 2.
Is the current solution optimal? No.
Why? Rewrite equation
(0)
as
.
Since
has a positive coefficient, increasing
from zero will increase
. So the current basic feasible solution is not optimal.
