Three alternatives are being considered for an engineering project. Their cash-flow estimates are shown in the accompanying table. A and B are mutually exclusive, and C is an optional add-on feature to alternative A. Investment funds are limited to $5,000,000. Another constraint on this project is the engineering personnel needed to design and implement the solution. No more than 9,000 person-hours of engineering time can be committed to the project. Set up a linear integer programming formulation of this resource allocation problem. Click the icon to view the alternatives description.
