Question:
A professor has been contacted by four not-for-profit agencies that are willing to work with student consulting teams. The agencies need help with such things as budgeting, information systems, coordinating volunteers, and forecasting. Although each of the four student teams could work with any of the agencies, the professor feels that there is a difference in the amount of time it would take each group to solve each problem. The professor's estimate of the time, in days, is given in the table below.

C | 41 | 42 | 25 | 38 |
D | 45 | 45 | 30 | 42 |
- Determine which team should be assigned to which project to minimize total time.
- Team C just informed us that they cannot participate. How would this change your original solution? Show your results below.
- Since team C is no longer available, which of the two new teams (X or Y shown below) should be selected to minimize total time. Show your results below.
