Taco Loco is considering a new addition to their menu. They have test marketed a number of possibilities and narrowed them down to three new products, X, Y, and Z. Each of these products is made from a different combination of beef, beans, and cheese, and each product has a price point. Taco Loco feels they can sell an X for $17, a Y for $13, and a Z for $14. The company's management science consultant formulates the following linear programming model for company management.
Max R = 14Z + 13Y + 17X
subject to:
Beef 2Z + 3Y + 4X ≤ 28
Cheese 9Z + 8Y + 11X ≤ 80
Beans 4Z + 4Y + 2X ≤ 68
X,Y,Z ≥ 0
The sensitivity report from the computer model reads as follows:
-For humanitarian reasons, Taco Loco decides they would rather make product X than product Y. The dollar amount that they can both increase the price of Y and reduce the price of X by to accomplish this reversal of demand is ________.
