According to this model, what is the maximum net present value in $
$
b Suppose that if the Advertising campaign is chosen, then the Test market new product alternative must be chosen. Modify your model from part a to take this into account.
In addition to the constraints from part a what additional constraint should be added to the integer programming model?
According to this model, what is the maximum net present value in $
c Suppose the Extensive warehouse expansion must be chosen. Modify your formulation from part b to reflect this new situation.
In addition to the constraints from part a and part b what additional constraint should be added to the integer programming model?
According to this model, what is the maximum net present value in $
What is the impact of this constraint on the optimal NPV in comparison to the optimal NPV from part b
Compared to the optimal NPV from part b the optimal NPV Selectquad checkmark with the additional constraint.
