Question: . ( 1 5 pts ) . Suppose that Plant 2 must shut down and is no longer able to contribute to making Products 1

.(15 pts). Suppose that Plant 2 must shut down and is no longer able to contribute to making Products 1 and 2.
However, Plant 1 is able to provide more hours. (None of the other assumptions associated with original
example change. Plant 3 still limited to no more than 18 hours available. )
You need to answer: how many additional hours does Plant 1 need to work to maximize the profit under these
conditions and what is the new profit value? (Denote the additional hours for Plant 1 as variable y.)
a.(5 pts) Identify the feasible region and how it changes from original problem.
b.(5 pts). Write down the modified LP problem formulation.
c.(5 pts) Find the value of y, and identify new optimal solution, and new value of objective function Z?
