What are the objective function coefficients for X₁ and X₂ based on the following Analytic Solver Platform sensitivity output?
$$\begin{array} { r r r } \text { Cell } & \begin{array} { r } \text { Target } \\\text { Name }\end{array} & \text { Value } \\\hline \text { \$E\$5 } & \text { Unit profit: OBJ. FN. VALUE } & 58\end{array}$$
$\begin{array}{rrrrrrr}\text { Cell } & \begin{array}{r}\text { Adjustable } \\\text { Name }\end{array} & \text { Value } & \begin{array}{r}\text { Lower } \\\text { Limit }\end{array} & \begin{array}{r}\text { Target } \\\text { Result }\end{array} & \begin{array}{r}\text { Upper } \\\text { Limit }\end{array} & \begin{array}{r}\text { Target } \\\text { Result }\end{array} \\\hline \$ \mathrm{~B} \$ 4 & \text { Number to make: } \mathrm{X} 1 & 6 & 0 & 16 & 6 & 58 \\\$ \mathrm{C} \$ 4 & \text { Number to make: } \mathrm{X} 2 & 4 & 0 & 42 & 4 & 58\end{array}$
