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".

If required, round your answer for Total Profit to two decimal places.

Total Profit: $

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.

Right-Hand-Side-Range
Constraints lower limit upper limit
Fan motors

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.

Ardmore farm and seed has an inventory dilemma. they have been selling a brand of very popular insect spray for the past year. they have never really analyzed the costs incurred from ordering and holding the inventory and currently fave a large stock of the insecticide in the warehouse. they estimate that it costs $25 to place an order, and it costs $0.25 per gallon to hold the spray. the annual requirements total 80,000 gallons for a 365 day year.a. assuming that 10,000 gallons are ordered each time an order is placed, estimate the annual inventory costs.b. calculate the eoq.c. given the eoq calculated in part b., how many orders should be placed and what is the average inventory balance? d. if it takes seven days to receive an order from suppliers, at what inventory level should ardmore place another order?
