I'm really stumped on this one...
A sporting goods company makes basketballs and footballs. EAch product is produced from two resources - rubber and leather. The resource requirements for each product and the total resources available are as follows:
Resource Requirements per Unit
Product Rubber (lb) Leather (ft.^2)
Basektball: 3(lb) 4 (ft.^2)
Football: 2 (lb) 5 (ft.^2)
Total Resources Avail : 500 lb. 800 ft^2
Questions:
A. I need help to identify the amount of unused resources at each of the graphical extreme points
B. What would be the effect on the optimal solution if the profit for a basketball changed from $12 to $13? What would be the effect if the profit for a football changed from $16 to $15?
C. What would be the effect on the optimal solutions if 500 additional s.f. of leather could be obtained?
