Read the case carefully, then answer question 16-21.     (22 points)

Susan Frank is the operations manager of Mauritius Arc Manufacturing Inc. She has developed a linear programming model to help her determine the product mix on one of the three production lines for Mauritius Arc Manufacturing Inc, where x1, x2 and x3 represent production line (product) 1, 2, and 3 respectively.

Maximize   Z = 15 x1+ 20 x2 + 14 x3   (profit)Subject to: 

5 x1 + 6 x2 + 4 x3 ≤ 210   (LABOR Constraint)10 x1 + 8 x2 + 5 x3 ≤ 200   (SPACE Constraint)4 x1+ 2 x2+ 5 x3 ≤ 170   (BUDGET Constraint)x1, x2, x3 ≥ 0

The spreadsheet solution and sensitivity report are shown in the following two tables.
