Explanation / Answer

The decision variables in this case are all non-binding since the shadow prices are showing as zero. shadow price indicates the difference between current value and value at optimised solution. They are showing zero here

Please review the constraints.

In this casem the right hand side is independent of the decision variables and RHS will not change by varying these values
