Question

Solve the following LP

Maximize $4x + $5y

Subject to            4x + 5y ≤ 72

                                6x + 5y ≥ 27

                                -3x + 8y ≥ 0

                                x, y ≥ 0

a) Write the original optimal solution and objective function value.

b) What is the optimal solution and objective function value if the profit per unit of x decreases to $1?

c) What is the optimal solution and objective function value if the first constraint changes to 4x + 5y ≤ 80

d) What is the optimal solution and objective function value if the third constraint changes to -3x + 8y ≤ 0?
