4. (25 marks) There are eight communities located along the Trans-Canada Highway, with community 1 being the most westerly, and community 8 being the most easterly. Currently, none of the eight communities has a fast-food restaurant. A fast-food restaurant chain is considering opening up to four restaurants in the eight communities (no more than one restaurant per community). They believe that they will capture 30% of the market in those communities in which a restaurant is constructed. Furthermore, they believe that they will capture 15% of the market in any community which does not have its own restaurant but which is contiguous to a community (on either or both sides) which does have a restaurant. Each restaurant would have an annual overhead cost of $200,000. Each customer would give an annual contribution to profit of $50. The population of each community is: R= number of restaurants built. N1 = population (in thousands) of communities with a restaurant. N2 = population (in thousands) of communities without a restaurant of their own but which are contiguous to a community which does have a restaurant.
