Table 4.2: Sensibility Analysis for Example 4.

Table 4.1 shows the maximization of the profit of a firm in producing three types of
cloth. It can be seen in the table that the maximum feasible profit for the firm is 18.65885 by
producing 2.17 of Cloth A, 1.22 for Cloth B and 1.51 for Cloth C. The constraints or those that
impose restriction for maximum profit is also shown in the table.
The sensitivity of the model are also analyzed in using Sensitivity Analysis (Table 4.2).
It is indicated in the table that for every increase in one unit of the constraints X1, 1.09756
 (shadow price) are also added in profit. In general, one unit of increase in constraints right hand
side, a shadow price is also added to profit.
