SPREADSHEET MODELING AND DECISION
ANALYSIS TEST BANK 2026 QUESTIONS WITH
SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉ Categories of mathematical models. Answer: Descriptive, Predictive,
Experimental, Prescriptive
◉ Good decision definition. Answer: A decision made using a structured
process and relevant data
◉ Anchoring and framing effects. Answer: How initial information
influences decision-making
◉ Objective function in linear programming. Answer: The function that
needs to be maximized or minimized
◉ Valid LP constraint. Answer: Constraints that must be satisfied in a
linear programming model
◉ Binding constraint. Answer: The constraint is active and limits the
solution
◉ Redundant constraint. Answer: Has no effect on the feasible region
, ◉ Feasible region in linear programming. Answer: Contains all possible
solutions that satisfy constraints
◉ Optimal solution in graphical LP. Answer: Typically found at the
intersection of constraint boundary lines
◉ Purpose of Simplex LP method in Solver. Answer: Optimizes linear
programming models
◉ Constraint for binary decision variables in Solver. Answer: X = 0 or 1
◉ Excel function to find sum of values meeting a condition. Answer:
SUMIF
◉ Purpose of Excel's Data Table tool. Answer: To analyze different
input scenarios for a formula
◉ Valid constraint type in Excel's Solver. Answer: Constraints that can
be applied within the Solver tool
◉ Linear equality. Answer: A + B = 100
