Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
The above question is based on a non-linear programming model, to answer this question, there will be a need to determine the optimal order quantities of the three different Ferns with diverse values of annual demand, item cost as well as order cost objective of the non-linear programming model is to minimize the overall annual cost.
Step 1: Setup a spreadsheet on Excel, as shown in the first and second attached images below:
Note: The values of quantities of the three items is kept as 1 to for the calculations of total cost.
The Solver dialogue box will appear. Enter the decision variables, objective function and the constraints, as shown in the third attached image below:
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The value of sales increase when when advertising is increased by one unit is $123.3
Explanation:
The value of sales increase is obtained by differentiating the sales equation (Y) with respect to advertising (X)
Y = 45.9 + 123.3X
dY/dX = 123.3
Increase in sales when advertising is increased by one unit = $123.3
