Follow-up Question
(d) If the number of fan motors available for production is increased by 35, will the dual value for that constraint change? Explain.
Yes, the dual value will change because 35 is greater than the allowable increase of 12.
Yes, the dual value will change because 35 is greater than the allowable increase of 5.
No, the dual value will not change because there is no upper limit to how much the constraint can increase.
No, the dual value will not change because 35 is less than the allowable increase of 265.
