Sensitivity Analysis
The Whirlwind Corporation manufactures two electrical products: Ceiling fans and floor fans. The assembly process for each is similar, and both require a certain amount of labor and certain amount of wiring. Each ceiling fan requires 4 hours of labor and 2 feet of wiring. Each floor fan requires 2 hours of labor and 3 feet of wiring. During the next production period up to 240 hours of labor is available and 180 feet of wiring is available. Each ceiling fan can be sold at a unit profit of $75 and each floor fan can be sold at a unit profit of $50. Whirlwind will have no trouble selling all the fans it has in its inventory, and also Whirlwind is interested in making the most profit it could make.
Now Whirlwind has some options - changing the unit for profits on the fans!
