Question

Consider the following questions regarding the Solver Answer and Sensitivity Report and answer below whether the answer is "Binding", "Non-Binding", or "Slack":

1.) If a constraint has Slack of zero, then the constraint called

2.) If the LHS minus RHS has a value other than 0, this difference is called

3.) If LP Sensitivity Report provides a Shadow Price that is zero, it applies to what type of constraint

The answer to the following question will be either True or False:   

4.)If the Allowable Increase in a decision variable coefficient is increased, but NOT exceeded, then the optimal values of the decision variables will NOT change.

Explanation / Answer

1.) If a constraint has Slack of zero, then the constraint called Binding

2.) If the LHS minus RHS has a value other than 0, this difference is called Slack

3) If LP Sensitivity Report provides a Shadow Price that is zero, it applies to what type of constraint

=Non-Binding

The allowable increase/decrease associated with the original coefficient of adecision variable tells us the range in which the coefficient of a given decision variable in the objective function may be increased/decreased without changing the optimal solution, where all other data are fixed.

hence True
