question 36

Multiple Choice

A section of output from The Management Scientist is shown here. $\frac { \text { Constraint } } { 2 }$$\frac { \text { Lower Limit } } { 240 }$$\frac { \text { Current Value } } { 300 }$$\frac { \text { Upper Limit } } { 420 }$ What will happen if the right-hand side for constraint 2 increases by 200?

• A)Nothing.The values of the decision variables, the dual prices, and the objective function will all remain the same.
• B)The value of the objective function will change, but the values of the decision variables and the dual prices will remain the same.
• C)The same decision variables will be positive, but their values, the objective function value, and the dual prices will change.
• D)The problem will need to be resolved to find the new optimal solution and dual price.
