Answer:
Assume: only one of the ware house expansion projects can be implemented and suppose that, if test marketing of the new product is carried out, the advertising campaign also must be conducted and vice versa. Also suppose that the purchase of new equipment cannot be undertaken unless the basic research or the extensive warehouse expansion are implemented.
Formulate the corresponding model for maximizing the net present value subject to the restrictions stated above
Yi (1 if investment alternative is selected, o otherwise)
i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Max Z = $4,000y1 + 6,000y2 + 10,500y3 + 4,000y4 + 8,000y5 + 3,000y6
∴ NPV = 17,500
