Question: Answer Questions 3 and 4 are based o n the following linear optimization problem. Maximize P 1 1 0 0 + 1 4 0 P

Answer Questions 3 and 4 are based on the following linear optimization problem.
Maximize P1100+140P2+160P3+200P4 Total profit
Subject to
P14+6P2+10P3+8P412000
P14+3P2+2P3+6P43600
P3200
Production budget constraint
And P1,P2,P3,P40
Minimum quantity needed for Product 3 constraint
Non-negativity constraints
Where P1,P2,P3 and P4 represent the number of units of Product 1, Product 2, Product 3, and Product 4to
be manufactured. Constraints
(a) Determine the optimal solution and the optimal value for this problem and interpret their meanings.
(b) Determine the slack (or surplus) value for each constraint in this problem and interpret its meaning.
(a) What are the ranges of optimality for the profit of Product 1, Product 2, Product 3, and Product 4?
(b) Find the shadow prices of the three constraints and interpret their meanings. What are the ranges in which
each of these shadow prices is valid?
(c)If the profit contribution of Product 4 changes from $200 per unit to $220 per unit, what will be the
optimal solution? What will be the new total profit? (Note: Answer this question by using the sensitivity
results given above. Do not solve the problem again).
(d) Which resource should be obtained in larger quantity to increase the profit most? (Note: Answer this
question using the sensitivity results given above. Do not solve the problem again).
