Problem 4
Problem 4
1. What if profit for Hydro-Lux increases from 300 to 310? Whether the final value changes?
The profit will be 350*122+310*78 = 68880 (as against the initial profit of 66100)
2. What if the profit for Hydro-Lux increases from 300 to 370?
Since this is above the allowable increase, we cannot calculate the inc in profit directly. We have to solve the
problem again. (Because the slope of the objective function changes and so the opt corner point is changing
too.)
