The old slack variable $s_3$ is exactly the amount now sold, so rename its column $y$. No further slack is added: the PDF specifies an equality. The feasible equations are otherwise unchanged. If $z_0$ is the old profit, the new profit is $z=z_0+y$. Substituting this into the old objective equation givesThis is the simplex objective update for a priced slack variable. The altered simplex tableau isThe coefficient $-1/2$ makes $y$ an improving entering variable. Its only positive constraint-row coefficient is $1/2$ in the $x_1$ row, whose ratio is $(3/2)/(1/2)=3$. Thus $x_1$ leaves. The simplex method pivot givesThe objective equation $z=15-x_1$ proves optimality. One optimal basic solution isThe zero reduced cost of $s_1$ permits alternative optima. In fact all optimal solutions areThese satisfy both remaining inequalities, and the equality then makes their profit exactly fifteen.
