Question: Conduct a Solver parameter analysis for the number of components A available in the Valencia Products model in Problem. Define the parameter range from 4,000 to 4,500 in increments of 100.
Problem: Valencia Products makes automobile radar detectors and assembles two models: LaserStop and SpeedBuster. The firm can sell all it produces. Both models use the same electronic components. Two of these can be obtained only from a single supplier. For the next month, the supply of these is limited to 4,000 of component A and 3,500 of component B. The number of each component required for each product and the profit per unit are given in the table.
c. If the unit profit for LaserStop is increased to $64, can you predict how the optimal solution and profit will change?
d. If an additional 500 units of component A are available, can you predict how the optimal solution and profit will be affected?
e. If a supplier delay results in only 3,400 units of component B available, can your predict how the optimal solution and profit will be affected?
