02 Profit is Maximized @ $2,607 by producing 456 yards of Denim

and 510 yards of Corduroy.

03 395 pounds left unused, while the available prcessing time were
used up. The 510 yards MAXIMUM demand is also met since we
included it as a constraint.

06 an increase in Processing time is a better option but @ a maximum of 237

hours of increase. If we max up our processing time to 3,237 hours we can
expect a $177.75 higher profit, since it is showed in our Sensitivity analysis that
our shadow price is $0.75. While the shadow price of Cotton is Zero there will
be no offect on our profit if we increase the resources on cotton.

07 there will be an effect on our solution if we will increase the profit per yard of
Denim by $0.66 and decrease $2.25. there will be an effect on our solution if
we will decrease the profit per yard of Corduroy by $0.70 but there will be no
effect if we increase the profit per yard of corduroy. this is because of our
constraint, maximum demand for corduroy.
