A Section of Output from the Management Scientist Is Shown

question 64

Multiple Choice

A section of output from The Management Scientist is shown here. $$\begin{array} { c c c c } \text { Variable } & \text { Lower Limit } & \text { Current Value } & \text { Upper Limit } \\\hline 1 & 60 & 100 & 120\end{array}$$ What will happen to the solution if the objective function coefficient for variable 1 decreases by 20?

• 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.
