The corner point solution method requires that the profit from all corners (or vertices) of the feasible region be compared to find the optimum solution. This method may yield different results from the isoprofit line solution method, which involves finding the optimal solution by analyzing the intersection of an isoprofit line with the feasible region. However, the corner point solution method can provide one, and only one, optimum solution if the objective function is linear and the feasible region is non-empty and bounded. Therefore, statement A may not always be true. Statement D is incorrect because not all corners are created by all constraints. Some corners may be created by only a subset of the constraints.
