Question

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 + 15x2 + 15x3+ 30x4
s.t. 7x1 + 13x2 + 11x3 + 10x4 ≤ 20 {Constraint 1}
x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 ≥ 2 {Constraint 2}
x1 + x2 ≤ 1 {Constraint 3}
x1 + x3 ≥ 1 {Constraint 4}
x2 = x4 {Constraint 5}

xj = 1, if location j is selected0, otherwise

Solve this problem to optimality and answer the following questions:
 

  1. Which of the warehouse locations will/will not be selected?
