In sensitivity analysis, what does the allowable increase of an objective coefficient indicate?
Correct answer: A. The increase possible without changing the current optimal basis
- A. The increase possible without changing the current optimal basis
- B. The increase possible before feasibility is lost
- C. The increase in total available resources
- D. The increase in the number of decision variables
Explanation
The allowable increase shows how much an objective coefficient can rise while the current optimal basis remains optimal. It does not directly measure a change in resource availability or the feasible region.
