A firm has prepared the following
binary integer program to evaluate a
number of potential locations for new
warehouses. The firm's goal is to
maximize the net present value of their
decision while not spending more than
their currently available capital.
Max 15x1 + 25x2 + 15x3+ 35x4
s.t. 8x1 + 11x2 +6x3 + 6x4 s 17
{Constraint 1}
X1 + x2 +
X1 + x2 < 1 {Constraint 3}
X1 + x3 2 1 {Constraint 4}
X2 = X4 {Constraint 5}
X4 2 2 {Constraint 2}
X3

S 1, if location jis selected
(0, otherwise
Solve this problem to optimality and
answer the following questions:

a. Which of the warehouse locations
will/will not be selected?
Location 1 will
Location 2 will
Location 3 will
Location 4 will

b. What is the net present value of the
optimal solution? (Round your
answer to the nearest whole
number.)
Net present value
c. How much of the available capital
will be spent (Hint: Constraint 1
enforces the available capital limit)?
(Round your answer to the nearest
whole number.)
Available capital
