Quality Air Conditioning manufactures three home air conditioners: an economy model, a standard model, and a deluxe model. The profits per unit are $57, $93, and $141, respectively. The production requirements per unit are as follows:
Number of
Fans Number of
Cooling Coils Manufacturing
Time (hours)
Economy 1 1 8
STandard 1 2 12
Deluxe 1 4 14
For the coming production period, the company has 320 fan motors, 380 cooling coils, and 3200 hours of manufacturing time available. How many economy models (E), standard models (S), and deluxe models (D) should the company produce in order to maximize profit? The linear programming model for the problem is as follows:
Max 57E + 93S + 141D
s. t.
1E + 1S + 1D ≤ 320 Fan motors
1E + 2S + 4D ≤ 380 Cooling coils
8E + 12S + 14D ≤ 3200 Manufacturing time
E, S, D ≥ 0
The sensitivity report is shown in the figure below.

b. Suppose the profit for the economy model (E) is increased by $6 per unit, the profit for the standard model (S) is decreased by $2 per unit, and the profit for the deluxe model (D) is increased by $4 per unit. What will the new optimal solution be? If required, round your answers to three decimal places. If your answer is zero, enter "0".

c. Identify the range of feasibility for the right-hand-side values. If there is no limit, then enter the text "NA" as your answer. If required, round your answers to one decimal place.

d. If the number of cooling coils available for production is increased by 120, will the dual value for that constraint change?
YES because the allowable increase for cooling coils is without changing the optimal solution.
