This output describes a two variable linear program, solved in Excel to optimality.

The output shown


below is the final output, after the problem has been fully solved. The problem has 2 variables, three
(non-trivial) constraints and two non-negativity constraints. The second part of the output describes
the sensitivity analysis for this problem. The objective is of a MAXIMIZATION type (=MAX 7X1 + 10X2).

HINT: Please watch the sensitivity report carefully. USE THE CONSTRAINT RIGHT HAND SIDES AND THE
OBJECTIVE COEFFICIENT VALUES TO MAP THE DUAL VARIABLES TO THE CONSTRAINTS. For instance,
the dual variable value (shadow price) of 7 corresponds to the constraint with a Right hand side (RHS) of
40. Make a note of this as you answer the problems. So $J$8 is X1 <= 50; $J$9 is X2 <= 60; and $J$10 is
X1 + 2X2 <= 40.
