Please completely solve this problem and explain steps.
Question 3(inspired by H&L 7.6-4).
Consider the following problem
maxx1,x2Z=5x1+c2x2
s.t.{3x1+a12x260,
2x1+a22x260,
x10,x20,
where x1 represents the level of activity 1 and x2 represents the level of activity 2. The values
of c2,a12, and a22 have not been determined yet. Only activity 1 needs to be undertaken soon
whereas activity 2 will be initiated somewhat later. There are different scenarios that could
unfold between now and the time activity 2 is undertaken that would lead to different values
for c2,a12,a22. Therefore, the goal is to use all of this information to choose a value for x1
now and to simultaneously determine a plan for choosing a value of x2 later after seeing which
scenario has occurred.
Three scenarios are considered plausible possibilities. They are listed below, along with the
values of c2,a12, and a22 that would result from each one:
Scenario 1: c2=4,a12=2, and a22=3.
Scenario 1: c2=6,a12=3, and a22=4.
Scenario 1: c2=3,a12=2, and a22=1.
These three scenarios are considered equally likely.
(a) Use stochastic programming with recourse to formulate the appropriate model for this
problem.
(b) Solve the model by using AMPL (do not forget to submit your AMPL code). What is
the optimal plan?
