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.

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.

Amachine purchased three years ago for $720,000 has a current book value using straight-line depreciation of $400,000: its operating expenses are $60,000 per year. a replacement machine would cost $480,000, have a useful life of nine years, and would require $26,000 per year in operating expenses. it has an expected salvage value of $130,000 after nine years. the current disposal value of the old machine is $170,000: if it is kept 9 more years, its residual value would be $20,000. calculate the total costs in keeping the old machine and purchase a new machine. should the old machine be replaced?
