A toy factory in Temuco currently assembles three types of toys within its production line: trains, trucks and cars, with three operations. The daily limits on time available for production, assembly, and completion operations are: 430, 460, and 420 minutes, per toy train, truck, and car, respectively, and the profits are $3, $2, and $5, respectively. Production, assembly, and completion times per train unit in the three operations are 1, 3 and 1 minutes, respectively (the units are given in millions). The respective times per truck and car unit are (2,0,4) and (1,2,0) minutes, (a time of zero indicates that the operation is not used).  1. Carry out a sensitivity analysis on resources to indicate how much the available times can vary so that the optimal solution remains feasible.
