Abstract: Abstract Linear programming is a mathematical tool which helps (via its quantification and solution processes) the management function to gain insight into complex, economic cases. Some complex cases which have a bearing on cost accounting and can be solved by linear programming are: (i) product mix (ii) sequencing of the firm’s machines (iii) the transfer pricing problems between the divisions of a firm
