a)

Summary Introduction

To track: The values in the decision variable cells and the objective cell when the selling price for basics vary from $220 to $350 in increments of $10.

Introduction: In linear programming, the unbounded solution would occur when the objective function is infinite. If no solution satisfied the constraints then it is said to be an unfeasible solution.

b)

Summary Introduction

To track: The values in the decision variable cells and the objective cell when the labor cost per hour for assembling vary from $5 to $20 in increments of $1.

Introduction: In linear programming, the unbounded solution would occur when the objective function is infinite. If no solution satisfied the constraints then it is said to be an unfeasible solution.

c)

Summary Introduction

To track: The values in the decision variable cells and the objective cell when the labor hours for testing vary from 0.5 to 3.0 in increments of 0.5.

Introduction: In linear programming, the unbounded solution would occur when the objective function is infinite. If no solution satisfied the constraints then it is said to be an unfeasible solution.

d)

Summary Introduction

To track: The values in the decision variable cells and the objective cell when the labor hours for assembling and testing an XP vary independently.

Introduction: In linear programming, the unbounded solution would occur when the objective function is infinite. If no solution satisfied the constraints then it is said to be an unfeasible solution.
