Question

Use Sensitivity Information Set C. If the right hand side of constraint 1 increases by 8.5 units, what answer characterizes the impact on the optimal solution?

z-value = 2157.75

z-value = 2065.875

z-value = 2182.25

z-value = 2274.125

A

z-value = 2157.75

Explanation / Answer

The constraint 1 increased by 8.5 units

From the report the constraint 1 is= -12.250

The constraint will be reduce the objective function by =8.5*-12.250 = - 104.125

Given objective function z value =2170.000

So z- value =2170 -104.125 =2065.875

hence option B is correct
