Consider the following spreadsheet and Excel Solver sensitivity report. (The profit is in dollars, and the variables x1 and x2 represent the number of units of products 1 and 2, respectively.)
Sensitivity Report
Variable Cells
ConstraintsUse the spreadsheet and Excel Solver sensitivity report to answer these questions.
(a) What is the cell formula for B12(the profit contribution of variable x1)?
=B8-B11
=B8**B11
?s=UM(B4:B6)**B8
?S=UM(B4:B6)-B11
?s=uM(B4:B6)**B11
(b) What is the cell formula for C12(the profit contribution of variable x2)?
=??(C4:C6)-C11
?S=UM(C4:C6)**CB
=C8**C11
=C8-C11
: ?SUM(C4:C6)**C11
(c) What is the cell formula for D12?
=B12-C12
=B12+C12
=C12B12
=B12**C12
=B12C12
(d) What is the cell formula for B15(the final value of the first constraint)?
=B8**B11+CB**C11
=B4**B8-C4**C8
=B**B11+C**C11
=B**B11-C44**C11
=B4**B8+C4**C8
(e) What is the cell formula for B16(the final value of the first constraint)?
=B5**B11+C**C11
=B5**B8+C5**C8
=B5**B8-?**?**C8
=B**B11-C5**C11
=B8**B11+CB**C11
(f) What is the cell formula for B17(the final value of the first constraint)?
=B6**B11-C6**C11
=B6**B8+C**C8
=B6**B8-C**C8
=B6**B11+C**C11
=B8**B11+CB**C11
(g) What is the optimal value for x1?(Round your answer to two decimal places.)
(h) What is the optimal value for x2?(Round your answer to two decimal places.)

(i) Would you pay $0.20 each for up to 76 more units of resource 1?
Yes
No
(j) Is it possible to figure the new objective function value if the profit on product 1 increases by a dollar, or do you have to rerun Solver?
Yes, it is possible to know the new value without rerunning Solver
No, it is necessary to rerun Solver:
 Consider the following spreadsheet and Excel Solver sensitivity report. (The profit
