The Extra Capacity is worth the same as Shadow Price i.e $2000
Part C
If the capacity were increased to by 100 units, the value of objective function would increase by 100 time as
much as in Part B
Part D
500 Units of Engine Assembly capapcity can be addded before there is a change in the value on an aditional
unit.
