Refer to the Kelson Sporting Equipment problem (Chapter 7, Problem 24). Letting

            R = number of regular gloves
            C = number of catcher’s mitts

leads to the following formulation:

Max    5R +  8C
s.t.
              R +  3/2 C < 900 Cutting and sewing
        1/2 R +  1/3 C < 300 Finishing
        1/8 R +  1/4 C < 100 Packaging and shipping

             R. C > 0

The sensitivity report is shown in Figure 8.14.
  a. What is the optimal solution, and what is the value of the total profit contribution?
