Abstract

This report review international literature on linear programming and how it applies to investment appraisal. It highlights the acceptable methods on investment appraisal and describes the major aspect of investment appraisal. The research review literatures and identify the distinctions between the research as well as providing explanations for them. The discounted and non-discounted techniques of investment appraisal were examined and the study further studied the relationship between linear programming and how it applies to investment appraisal. Thus this study identifies the relationship between linear programming and investment appraisal.
