Consider the following linear programming problem:
Max Z = $15x + $20y
Subject to: &emsp;8x + 5y ? 40
&emsp; &emsp;&emsp; 0.4x + y ? 4
&emsp; &emsp;&emsp;x, y ? 0
Determine the values for x and y that will maximize revenue. Given this optimal revenue, what is the amount of slack associated with the first constraint?
