Please solve the following question using excel commands like solver, Analytic Solver, or sensitivity analysis.



4. Consider the Think-Big Development Co. problem presented in Section 3.2, including the spreadsheet in Figure 3.3 showing its formulation and optimal solution. In parts a-g, use the spreadsheet and Solver to check whether the optimal solution would change and, if so, what the new optimal solution would be, if the estimates in Table 3.3 of the net present values of the projects were to be changed in each of the following ways. (Consider each part by itself.) a. The net present value of project 1 (a high-rise office building) increases by $200,000. b. The net present value of project 2 (a hotel) increases by $200,000. c. The net present value of project 1 decreases by $5 million. d. The net present value of project 3 (a shopping center) decreases by $200,000. e. All three changes in parts b, c, and d occur simultaneously. f. The net present values of projects 1, 2, and 3 change to $46 million, $69 million, and $49 million, respectively. g. The net present values of projects 1, 2, and 3 change to $54 million, $84 million, and $60 million, respectively. h. Use Solver to generate the sensitivity report for this problem. For each of the preceding parts, suppose that the change occurs later without having the spreadsheet model immediately available on a computer. Show in each case how the sensitivity report can be used to check whether the original optimal solution must still be optimal. i. For each of the three projects in turn, use a parameter analysis report to systematically generate the optimal solution and the total net present value when the only change is that the net present value of that project increases in $1 million increments from $5 million less than the current value up to $5 million more than the current value.
