Decision Variables
X1 = number of batches of product 1 produced per week
X2 = number of batches of product 2 produced per week
Objective Function
Max z = 3x1+ 5x2
Constraints
x1<=4
2x2<=12
3x1+2x2<=18
Non-Negativity
X1X2>=0

Optimal production level for Product 2 is 6

$36
Plant 1=2hrs
Plant 2=0 hr
Plant 3= 0 hr
If we increase the cost for plant 3 to $1.25 the maximum profit becomes
$32.4 which is lower than the optimal solution therefore this should not be
implemented.
Increasing plant 2 capacity to 15 means that the objective function will also
increase.
Decreasing plant 3 capacity to 14 means that the objective function will also
decrease.

Increasing the profit of product 1 to $5 will give you the following values
Objective Function = 33.33
X1=0.67
X2=6

Decision Variables
X1 = required production level for Alpha
X2 = required production level for Omega
Objective Function
Max = 20x1+30x2

Constraints
x1+2x2<=120
x1<=70
x2<=50

a. Production Level for Alpha = 70 sets

Production Level for Omega = 25 sets
b. Profit that can be generated if optimal solution will apply is $2150.00
c. Unused capacity for Omega = 25 sets
d. The value of objective function will be $2150.00
e. The value of objective function will be $2150.00
f. I am going to choose on increasing the alpha line by 16 sets with additional
cost of $2 cause it has a higher objective value than the first option.
g. The objective function will change if we the alpha line value is lower than 20
sets
h. It will increase in the amount of $2275.00
i. Optimal function will decrease due to the change in the profitability of alpha.
j. Objective function will increase.
