Consider the following linear program: Minimize Z= 50X7 + 20X2 + 30X3 + 80X4 st 1) 400X; + 200X2 + 150X3 + 500X4 5 800 2) 3X1 + 2X2 26 3) 2X1 + 2X2 + 4X3 + 4X4 2 10 4) 2X] + 4X2 + X3 + 5X428 X1, X2, X3 , X420. + + + 1. Solve the problem using LINDO or the Solver add-in to MS-Excel. Then answer the following: a. What are the shadow prices corresponding to Constraints 1, 2 and 4? Clearly interpret these values. b. What happens to the value of Z in each of the following three cases (1) c2=18, (2) cz=50 (3) b2=4? c. By how much can b3 change before the current basis is affected? How (if at all) is Z affected? d. Give two interpretations of the reduced cost corresponding to the non-basic variable X4
