Sensitivity Analysis of
Objective Function Coefficients.
• Range of Optimality
• The optimal solution will remain unchanged as long as
• An objective function coefficient lies within its range of optimality
• There are no changes in any other input parameters.

• Reduced cost
Assuming there are no other changes to the input
parameters, the reduced cost for a variable Xj that has a
value of “0” at the optimal solution is:
• The negative of the objective coefficient increase of the
variable Xj (-DCj) necessary for the variable to be positive
in the optimal solution
• Alternatively, it is the change in the objective value per
unit increase of Xj.
• Complementary slackness
At the optimal solution, either the value of a variable is
zero, or its reduced cost is 0.

Sensitivity Analysis of
Right-Hand Side Values
• Any change to the right hand side of a binding
constraint will change the optimal solution.

Shadow Price – graphical demonstration
The Plastic
constraint X2
When more plastic becomes available (the
plastic constraint is relaxed), the right hand
side of the plastic constraint increases.

The correct interpretation of shadow prices
• Sunk costs: The shadow price is the value of an extra
unit of the resource, since the cost of the resource is
not included in the calculation of the objective function
coefficient.

Other Post - Optimality Changes
• Addition of a constraint.
• Deletion of a constraint.
• Addition of a variable.
• Deletion of a variable.
• Changes in the left - hand side coefficients.

Range of optimality and 100% Rule
• Question: Will the solution change if the profits on both large and small animals are
increased by $.75? Will the value of the objective function change?
• Answer: If both the profits change by $.75, since the maximum increase for c1 is $1
(from $3 to $4) and the maximum increase in c2 is $1 (from $8 to $9), the overall sum
of the percent changes is (.75/1) + (.75/1) = 75% + 75% = 150%. This total is greater
than 100%; both the optimal solution and the value of the objective function change.
Shadow Price
• Question: The unit profits do not include a per unit labor cost. Given this, what is the
maximum wage Jonni should pay for overtime?
• Answer: Since the unit profits do not include a per unit labor cost, man-hours is a sunk
cost. Thus the shadow price for man-hours gives the maximum worth of man-hours
(overtime). This is found in the zj row in the s1 column (since s1 is the slack for man-
hours) and is $20.
