possibility of providing a portion of the reservoir capacitors needed by Gulf Coast.

Electronics has had no experience with Boston Components, it estimated Boston Components' defective rate to be $10\%.$

Boston Components must be at least $10\%$ of the volume given to Able Controls.

from Lyshenko.

The cost per capacitor is $$2\mathrm{.}45$ for Boston Components, $$2\mathrm{.}50$ for Able Controls, and $$2\mathrm{.}75$ for Lyshenko Industries.

$|$ The optimal solution would change, with Lyshenko Industries being assigned the maximum of $50,000$ reservoir capacitors.

The optimal solution would change, with $30,000$ reservoir capacitors assigned to Boston Components.

The optimal solution would change, with $7,526$ reservoir capacitors assigned to Boston Components.

The optimal solution would remain the same.

The total cost will decrease about $$2\mathrm{.}54$ for every unit the required minimum is reduced by$,$ with no lower limit on how much the required minimum can be reduced.

The total cost will decrease about $$0\mathrm{.}22$ for every unit the required minimum is reduced by$,$ for at least $21,106$ capacitors.

The total cost will decrease about $$0\mathrm{.}16$ for every unit the required minimum is reduced by$,$ for at least $25,440$ capacitors

Reducing the requirement will not change the total cost of obtaining the reservoir capacitors.
