Explanation / Answer

Allowable increase in the RHS of packaging constraint is 2 and shadow price of constraint is 11.

It means if the additional unit is made available till allowable increase the objective function value will increase by 11 per additional unit.

But if the unit increase is beyond allowable increase, the shadow price is not valid.

Thus, if 3 units of packaging is made available, shadow price is not valid and it is not possible to determine change in objective function value.

Ans: cannot say
