The manager of a Burger Doodle franchise wants to determine how many sausage
biscuits and ham biscuits to prepare each morning for breakfast customers. The two
types of biscuits require the following resources:

Biscuit Labor (hr.) Sausage (lb.) Ham (lb.) Flour (lb.)

Sausage 0.010 0.10 0.04
Ham 0.024 0.15 0.04

The franchise has 6 hours of labor available each morning. The manager has a contract
with a local grocer for 30 pounds of sausage and 30 pounds of ham each morning. The
manager also purchases 16 pounds of flour. The profit for a sausage biscuit is $0.60; the
profit for a ham biscuit is $0.50. The manager wants to know the number of each type
of biscuit to prepare each morning in order to maximize profit.

From the computer solution output (Excel and sensitivity report),
determine the following:

1. How many ham and sausage biscuits the company

should prepare to maximize the profit?
Sausage = 300
Ham = 100

2. How much is the profit at the optimal solution?

$230

3. After how many hours will it result in slack hours of labor?

0.6 hours

4. What is the sensitivity range for the labor constraints?

5.4 ≤ q1 infinity

5. What is the sensitivity range for the flour?

12 ≤ q2 ≤ 17

6. How much is the profit if the staff will only work 5 hours on
a particular day?
$221.67

7. How much extra sausage and ham is left over at the

optimal solution point?
Sausage = 0
Ham = 15

8. Is there any idle labor time?

0.4 hours

9. What would the solution be if the profit for a ham biscuit

were increased from $0.50 to $0.60?
There were no changes except for an increase in profit
of $10 ($240).

10. What would be the effect on the optimal solution if the

manager could obtain 2 more pounds of flour?
Sausage = 300
Ham = 125
Maximum profit = $242.5
