04 the sensitivity analysis report will not come out if Integer constraint if added. To answer this
item, I removed the integer constraint. The sensitivity ranges for Large tile is: Allowable
increase is 2 unit and allowable decrease is 78.28. while for the small tiles is: Allowable
increase is 168.15 and 2.5 for allowable decrease. for the constraints: for hours of
Moulding: infinite increase and allowable decrease is 7.42. hours of Baking: 11 units
allowed increase and 12.10 for allowable decrease. for hours of Glazing is 2.56 allowable
increase and 3.79 allowable decrease. and for clay: infinite increase and 1,047.42 allowable
decrease.

shadow price of clay is Zero.

only $3,011.53 which is 91,988.47 below their investment of 95,000.
