Question: consider the following LP problem: Maximize profit = 5X + 6Y Subject to 2X + Y 120 2X + 3Y 240 X, Y 0 (a)

consider the following LP problem:

Maximize profit = 5X + 6Y

Subject to 2X + Y 120

2X + 3Y 240

X, Y 0

(a) What is the optimal solution to this problem? no graphically!

(b) If a technical breakthrough occurred that raised the profit per unit of X to $8, would this affect the optimal solution?

(c) Instead of an increase in the profit coefficient X to $8, suppose that profit was overestimated and should only have been $3. Does this change the optimal solution?
