Basic Math

Quality Air Conditioning manufactures three home airconditioners: an economy model, a standard model, and a deluxemodel. The profits per unit are $61, $99, and $135, respectively.The production requirements per unit are as follows:

Number of
Fans
Number of
Cooling Coils
Manufacturing
Time (hours)
Economy118
Standard1212
Deluxe1414

For the coming production period, the company has 250 fanmotors, 360 cooling coils, and 2600 hours of manufacturing timeavailable. How many economy models (E), standard models (S), anddeluxe models (D) should the company produce in order to maximizeprofit? The linear programming model for the problem is asfollows:

Max61E+99S+135D
s.t.
1E+1S+1D≤250  Fan motors
1E+2S+4D≤360  Cooling coils
8E+12S+14D≤2600  Manufacturing time
E, S, D ≥ 0

The sensitivity report is shown in the figure below.

  2. Suppose the profit for the economy model (E) isincreased by $6 per unit, the profit for the standard model(S) is decreased by $2 per unit, and the profit for thedeluxe model (D) is increased by $4 per unit. What willthe new optimal solution be? If required, round your answers tothree decimal places. If your answer is zero, enter \"0\".

    D

    If required, round your answer for Total Profit to two decimalplaces.

    Total Profit: $_____
  3. Identify the range of feasibility for the right-hand-sidevalues. If there is no limit, then enter the text \"NA\" as youranswer. If required, round your answers to one decimal place.

  4. If the number of fan motors available for production isincreased by 60, will the dual value for that constraintchange?

    Yes  because the allowable increase for fan motorsis_____without changing the optimal solution.
