Tom's, Inc., produces various Mexican food products and sells them to Western Foods, a chain of grocery stores located in Texas and New Mexico. Tom's, Inc., makes two salsa products: Western Foods Salsa and Mexico City Salsa. Essentially, the two products have different blends of whole tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste. The Western Foods Salsa is a blend of 50% whole tomatoes, 30% tomato sauce, and 20% tomato paste. The Mexico City Salsa, which has a thicker and chunkier consistency, consists of 70% whole tomatoes, 10% tomato sauce, and 20% tomato paste. Each jar of salsa produced weighs 10 ounces. For the current production period, Tom's, Inc., can purchase up to 280 pounds of whole tomatoes, 130 pounds of tomato sauce, and 100 pounds of tomato paste; the price per pound for these ingredients is $0.96, $0.64, and $0.56, respectively. The cost of the spices and the other ingredients is approximately $0.10 per jar. Tom's, Inc., buys empty glass jars for $0.02 each, and labeling and filling costs are estimated to be $0.03 for each jar of salsa produced. Tom's contract with Western Foods results in sales revenue of $1.64 for each jar of Western Foods Salsa and $1.93 for each jar of Mexico City Salsa.

	Letting
	W = jars of Western Foods Salsa
	M = jars of Mexico City Salsa
	leads to the following formulation:

Max	1W	+	1.25M
s.t.
	5W	+	7M	≤	4480	Whole tomatoes
	3W	+	1M	≤	2080	Tomato sauce
	2W	+	2M	≤	1600	Tomato paste
W, M ≥ 0

The sensitivity report is shown in figure below.

What are the shadow prices for each constraint? Round your answers to three decimal places.

Constraint	Shadow Price
Whole tomatoes
Tomato sauce
Tomato paste

Interpret each shadow price.

The shadow price is the value that the objective function will change by if you increase the constraint by one unit.

Whole tomatoes have a shadow price of .125 which means that if we add one ounce of whole tomatoes the value of the objective function would increase by $0.125 .

Tomato sauce has a shadow price of 0 which means that if we add one ounce of tomato sauce the value of the objective function would not change .

Tomato paste has a shadow price of .188 which means that if we add one ounce of tomato paste the value of the objective function would increase by $0.188 .

Constraints with a shadow price of 0 means that It is a non-binding constraint .

Identify each of the right-hand-side ranges. If required, round your answers to the nearest whole number. If there is no lower or upper limit, then enter the text "NA" as your answer.
