Question: Consider below the linear programming problem. The formulation and sensitivity analysis output is given: Minimize cost or z = 100 x 1 + 32 x

Consider below the linear programming problem. The formulation and sensitivity analysis output is given:

Minimize cost or z = 100x1 + 32x2 + 32x3 + 32x4 + 32x5 + 32x6

x1 ? 12 (Max. full-timers)

x1 + x2 ? 10 (9am to 10am)

x1 + x2 + x3 ? 12 (10am to 11am)

0.5x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 ? 14 (11am to noon)

0.5x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 ? 16 (Noon to 1pm)

x1 + x3 + x4 + x5 + x6 ? 18 (1pm to 2pm)

x1 + x4 + x5 + x6 ? 17 (2pm to 3pm)

x1 + x5 + x6 ? 15 (3pm to 4pm)

x1 + x6 ? 10 (4pm to 5pm)

4x2 + 4x3 + 4x4 + 4x5 + 4x6 ? 56 (Corporate policy)

x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, and x6 ? 0 (Non-negativity)

Consider below the linear programming problem. The formulation and sensitivity analysis output
