PMQuestion on linear programing in June 2010

OOsama13y ago
CUT AND STITCH I didnt find calculating the parts a and b too challenging (finding out the max contribution and shadow price) My question is regarding part c. How did the examiner calculated the labour rate to be $1.5 when it wasnt given in the exam All we know is shadow price for each extra hr of labour is $4. Please. Help!!

Check the question - there is additional information given before part c of question :) The tailors have offered to work an extra 500 hours provided that they are paid three times their normal rate of $1·50 per hour at $4·50 per hour.
