Explanation / Answer

Note: Simplex linear optimization is used in MS Excel solver add-in

Ans1: The optimal solution that maximizes the profit maintaining all the constraints:

Ans2:Objective Function Value=

Ans4: In the original problem if the right hand side of constraint #3 were increased to 601 , how much would it change the objective function value?

The new value=

Ans 5: In the original problem if the coefficient of R in the objective function was increased to 95 would it change the optimal solution? Give values for all variables.

new solution is:

Ans6: new value of objective function=

Ans7: In original solution (Ans1) only Constraint#1 has slack/surplus.

slack of (5000-4250=) 750.
