Checking for Optimality
The new basic feasible solution is ,,, and , which yields .
This ends iteration 3.

Is the current solution optimal? Yes.

Why? Rewrite equation (0) as .
Since none of the variables has a positive coefficient,  cannot be increased by increasing any of these variables from zero. So the current basic feasible solution is optimal.
This concludes the demonstration. See the OR Tutor menu (to the left) for other demonstrations or close the browser window to exit OR Tutor.
