14. The feasibility region looks like:

Nope. We have two constraints:
• The wholesale-cost: T <= 9,000 - .83N (an inside constraint)
• The sells goal: T >= 10,000 - N (an outside constraint)

Notice that the wholesale-cost constraint has a slope of only .83 while the sells goal has a slope of 1. Also notice that the steeper constraint (sells goal) is an outside constraint, while the less steep slope is an inside contraint. However, in choice c, the steeper constraint is incorrectly shown as an inside constraint (shaded below) and the less steep slope is incorrectly shown as an outside constraint (shaded above).
