4- Consider the following problem and its final simplex tableau to answer the following questions.
"Farmer Jones bakes two types of cake (chocolate and vanilla) to supplement his income. Each chocolate cake
can be sold for $1, and each vanilla cake can be sold for 25. Each chocolate cake requires 20 minutes of baking time
and uses 4 eggs. Each vanilla cake requires 40 minutes of baking time and uses 2 eggs. Eight hours of baking time and
30 eggs are available. Also, Farmer Jones must bake at least 4 vanilla cakes, because he already has accepted a customer
order. Formulate an LP to maximize Farmer Jones's revenue, then solve the LP."
x1: Number of chocolate cakes produced
x2: Number of vanilla cakes produced
maxz=x1+14x2
st.13x1+23x28(baking time capacity)
4x1+2x230(egg capacity)
x24(vanilla cake demand)
x1,x20
a) If the demand for vanilla.cake increases by one, what will be the change in the optimal objective value?
b) If the available baking time increases by one hour, what will be the change in the optimal objective value?
c) What would be a fair cost to increase the available egg by one?
d) If the number of available eggs increases by one, what will be the change in the optimal objective value
