evel $A$

Modify the Briggs employee scheduling model so that employees are paid $$10$ per hour on weekdays and $$15$ per hour on weekends. Change the objective so that you now minimize the weekly payroll. $($You can assume that each employee works eight hours per day.$)$ Is the previous optimal solution still optimal?

How much influence can the employee requirements for one, two, or three days have on the weekly schedule in the Briggs employee scheduling example? You are asked to explore this in the following questions.

a$.$ Let Monday's requirements change from $17$ to $25$ in increments of $1.$ Use SolverTable to see how the total number of employees changes.

b$.$ Suppose the Monday and Tuesday requirements can each, independently of one another, increase from $1$ to $8$ in increments of $1.$ Use a two$-$way SolverTable to see how the total number of employees changes.

c$.$ Suppose the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday requirements each increase by the same amount, where this increase can be from $1$ to $8$ in increments of $1.$ Use a one$-$way SolverTable to investigate how the total number of employees changes.
