Due to the nature of their demand, Mistwood's demand is very irregular so they must keep a large stockpile of the drugs in their warehouse. These drugs are typically stored in refrigeration units which are unique to each drug and the product must be rotated each day within each unit, so the drugs reach their maximum shelf life. Each of these refrigeration units have a weight and size (measured in ft2) which limit how much of each drug can be stored. At the moment, Mistwood's warehouse has a size of 5,420 ft2 and can have a maximum weight of 52,160 lbs. Also, the current warehousing staffing can spend 250 hours/day rotating the drugs. The following table contains information regarding the size, weight, and manpower requirements for each refrigeration unit along with the maximum storage (i.e. they have no reason to store more than this amount of each drug) and profit for each refrigeration unit: Drug Space (ft2) Weight (lb.) Manpower (hour) Max Storage Profit Alphadox 2.4 22.6 0.18 132 5.10 Biolight 5.43 55.1 0.40 149 4.87 Solostock 3.31 28.6 0.21 156 4.80 Doubletech 3.79 29.2 0.25 126 5.06 Hattex 8.09 80.5 0.42 190 7.18 Air-Dox 9.83 97.7 0.28 168 7.25 Aptech 6.78 64.5 0.28 197 7.08 Scotdox 14.57 143.4 0.39 116 6.90 Mistwood wants to determine how many of each refrigeration unit of drug should be stored in the warehouse given all of the limitations such that they achieve the maximum possible profit. Since fractional refrigeration units cannot be stored, develop, implement, and solve an integer optimization model in Excel to address Mistwood's needs. Once the model is solved, state the number of units stored of each refrigeration unit and the expected profit
