Question: Components' defective rate to be 1 0 % . The cost per capacitor is $ 2 . 4 5 for Boston Components, $ 2 .

Components' defective rate to be 10%.
The cost per capacitor is $2.45 for Boston Components, $2.50 for Able Controls, and $2.75 for Lyshenko Industries.

Solve the linear program to determine how many reservoir capacitors should be ordered from each supplier. (Round your answers to the nearest integer.)

(b) Suppose that the quality level for reservoir capacitors supplied by Boston Components is much better than estimated, with a defective rate of 2%. What effect, if any, would this quality level have?
The optimal solution would change, with Lyshenko Industries being assigned the maximum of 50,000 reservoir capacitors.
The optimal solution would change, with 7,526 reservoir capacitors assigned to Boston Components.
The optimal solution would change, with 30,000 reservoir capacitors assigned to Boston Components.
The optimal solution would remain the same.
The total cost will decrease about $0.16 for every unit the required minimum is reduced by, for at least 25,440 capacitors
The total cost will decrease about $2.54 for every unit the required minimum is reduced by, with no lower limit on how much the required minimum can be reduced.
The total cost will decrease about $0.22 for every unit the required minimum is reduced by, for at least 21,106 capacitors.
Reducing the requirement will not change the total cost of obtaining the reservoir capacitors.
