The objective is to minimize cost while ensuring 73,000 capacitors and meeting supplier limits. The optimal solution: B =17,000, A =48,000, L =8,000. Total cost: $345,400.The linear program minimizes cost for 73,000 capacitors, allocating 17,000 from Boston, 48,000 from Able, and 8,000 from Lyshenko. This meets supplier limits, yielding a total cost of $345,400 for Gulf Coast Electronics. If Cabinetmaker 1 has additional hours available, would the optimal solution change? If required, round your answers to three decimal places. If your answer is zero, enter "0". Explain.
No
because Cabinetmaker 1 has
of fill in the blank 33
hours. Alternatively, the dual value is fill in the blank 34
which means that adding one hour to this constraint will decrease total cost by $fill in the blank 35
.
If Cabinetmaker 2 has additional hours available, would the optimal solution change? If required, round your answers to three decimal places. If your answer is zero, enter "0". Use a minus sign to indicate the negative figure. Explain.
Yes
because Cabinetmaker 2 has a
of fill in the blank 38
. Therefore, each additional hour of time for cabinetmaker 2 will reduce cost by a total of $ fill in the blank 39
per hour, up to an overall maximum of fill in the blank 40
total hours.
Suppose Cabinetmaker 2 reduced its cost to $38 per hour. What effect would this change have on the optimal solution? If required, round your answers to three decimal places. If your answer is zero, enter "0".

What is the total cost of completing both projects? If required, round your answer to the nearest dollar.
Total Cost = $ fill in the blank 47
The change in Cabinetmaker 2s cost per hour leads to changing
objective function coefficients. This means that the linear program
