Assignment:
Consider the following LP problem developed at Zafar Malik’s Carbondale, Illinois, optical scanning firm:
a) What is the optimal solution to this problem? Solve it graphically.
b) If a technical breakthrough occurred that raised the profit per unit of X1 to $3, would this affect the optimal solution?
c) Instead of an increase in the profit coefficient X1 to $3, suppose that profit was overestimated and should only have been $1.25. Does this change the optimal solution?
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
