Answer #1

Answer :

  • True

Explanation:

  • Reduced cost also known as opportunity cost it is the value by which the Objective function will improve / worsen , if we change the decision variable attached to that reduced cost.
  • Depending upon the sign of reduced cost the objective function improves or worsen. If positive reduced cost objective function improves otherwise it will worsen.
  • So in case of Cost optimization Objective function will be minimizing cost, so positive reduced cost means the overall cost will decrease by adding one unit of decision variable.
