Linear programming, investments, decision makingAbstract
Mathematical programming is a tool that is used to solve problems of various kinds in the different fields of Science, including that of Economic Sciences, in which it can be used to optimize economic and financial resources.
The article aimed to show the importance of linear programming as a tool for decision making, in the field of Economics, through the analysis of financial investments, using linear programming and the Solver tool of the Microsoft Excel program.
The results obtained show that to optimize the NPV, with the proposed investment budgetary restrictions, a total amount of $ 12,500.00 must be invested in projects A and C to obtain a profitability, measured by the NPV, of $ 5,000.00, being this the most optimal.
