Question:
A graphical approach was used to solve the following LP model in problem.
Maximize profit+ $4x +$5y
Subject to the constraints
5x+2y ≤ 40
3x +6y ≤ 30
x ≤ 7
2x – y ≥ 3
x, y ≥ 0
Use the graphical solution to answer the following questions. Each question is independent of the others.
Determine if (and how ) the following changes would affect the optimal solution values and or profit.
a. A technical breakthrough raises the profit per unit of Y to $10.
b. The profit per unit of X decreases to only $2.
c. The first constraint changes to 5x + 2y ≤ 54.
