a.

Explanation of Solution

New optimal solution

  • Let RM be the pounds of raw material processed.
  • Let P1 be the pounds of raw material used to produce product 1 and P2 be the pounds of raw material used to produce product 2.
  • Hence if only 87 lb of raw material could be purchased, then the optimal solution will be changed

b.

Explanation of Solution

New optimal solution

  • Let RM be the pounds of raw material processed.
  • Let P1 be the pounds of raw material used to produce product 1 and P2 be the pounds of raw material used to produce product 2.
  • If product 2 is sold for $39.50/lb, then the objective function coefficient for product 2 is decreased at a rate of 0

c.

Explanation of Solution

Pay for another pound of raw material

  • Let RM be the pounds of raw material processed.
  • Let P1 be the pounds of raw material used to produce product 1 and P2 be the pounds of raw material used to produce product 2

d.

Explanation of Solution

Pay for another hour of labour

  • Let RM be the pounds of raw material processed.
  • Let P1 be the pounds of raw material used to produce product 1 and P2 be the pounds of raw material used to produce product 2

e.

Explanation of Solution

Product produced

  • Let RM be the pounds of raw material processed.
  • Let P1 be the pounds of raw material used to produce product 1 and P2 be the pounds of raw material used to produce product 2.
  • For a maximization problem, the new optimal value = (old optimal value) + (Constraint i’s shadow price).
  • For a minimization problem, the new optimal value = (old optimal value) – (Constraint i’s shadow price)
