a)[4 points] Are there multiple optimal solutions to this problem? Why or why not?
No, because none of the obj colficints have an allowable increase
or decrease of (0)
b)[5 points] Suppose the profit per gallon of banana changes to $1.00. Will the optimal solution
change, and what can be said about the effect on total profit (increase or decrease)?
the optimal solution will change, cause it will go over the
allowable increase, in this case ve will batue to resolul.
c)[5 points] Making no other changes, what would the profit of chocolate ice cream need to
change for it to possibly be optimal for the Ken and Larry, Inc to start making chocolate ice
cream? Why?
since C=0, we will not change if ble if we
change c=1, t will reduce the cos/ since it
=0
d)[6 points] If the vanilla ice cream profit increases from $0.9 to $0.92 and the profit of the banana
ice cream decreases from $0.95 to $0.93.
i. Will the optimal solution ((i.e., optimal value of decision variables) change? Why?
Vanilla hat()=0.020.05000=0.4,0.4+0.4=0.8100 the optimat Saution
bantana darr=0.020.05000=0.4
will remain pptimat
ii. What will the optimal total profit change to?(Write "resolve" if changes to the optimal total
profit cannot be determined without resolving the LP.) Show your work to support your answer
to part i).
the optimal prohit will increase
1.00(0)+(0.92)(300)+0.93(75)=245.75
276+69.75=
