C)will increase by $30 
D)will remain the same 
E)can only be discovered by resolving the problem

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The change in the objective function value is determined by the change in the coefficient of Activity 1 multiplied by the optimal value of Activity 1. If the coefficient increases by $30, and assuming the optimal value of Activity 1 is 1, the objective function value will increase by $30.
