If a change is out of the allowable range you are expected to provide any possible bounds on the change in objective. a) Right now we do not order from supplier 5. Is there a different supplier 5 cost that would cause us to order from supplier 5 in an optimal solution? b) Which size valve has the highest marginal cost? c) How would the objective change if the cost per heart from supplier 1 increased to 4? How would the objective change if the cost per heart from supplier 1 increased to 5? d) How would the objective change if supplier 4's availability decreased to 600? How would the objective change if supplier 4's availability decreased to 550? e) AEL is considering another supplier that has unlimited availability of hearts and provides hearts of which .4 are size 1 and .6 are size 3. At what cost would AEL want to buy from this supplier
