GRAPHICAL METHODS
Wheat Barley
Explanation
Since Bob's objective is to maximize his income, we
have used the contribution per unit of wheat and
barley in the objective function.
400,000 is just a random number that we have
used to obtain the slope of the objective function.
Any other number could also be used as the
gradient will remain the same.
Step 3 Plot the constraints on a
graph paper

0 0.8B = 4000 (0, 5000)
Land : B = 4000 ÷ 0.8
1W + 0.8B ≤ B = 5000

1W + 0.8(0) =
4000 0 (4000, 0)
W = 4000

0.001(0) = 10
0.004W = 10 0 (2500, 0)
W = 10 ÷ 0.004
W = 2500

Step 6 Find the optimum point
Optimum Point
Optimum Point
Optimum point always lies on one
of the corner points of the feasible
region.
Step 7 Find the coordinates of the optimum point
Co-ordinates of
the optimum point are
approximately 1850 W
and 2750 B (1850,
2750).
