. . West Read Ch. 5 Exercise 2 Drylce, Inc. in the textbook Assume that the company now faces the increased demand below (instead of the demand described in the original problem) New demand at each market region East : 400,000 South : 800,000 Midwest : 300,000 : 200,000 Production costs, transport costs, and fixed costs of plants are same as those in Table 5-5 in the textbook Questions (1-1) Where should Drylce build its plants and how large should they be? (1-2) How much units should Drylce transport to each market region from each plant? Submit Excel file with answers and all necessary conditions for Solver to run optimization - so that Solver models can be checked . . . Modify the provided Excel template for the assignment Enter the data of the problem in the template in the unit of: $1,000 for facility cost $ per unit for cost of air conditioner (sum of production and transport costs) 1,000 units for demand and plant capacity For example: Fixed cost of New York 200,000-capacity plant would be $6,000 instead of $6,000,000 Demand in South would be 180 instead of 180,000 In Solver, change the ranges of: Variables in By Changing Variable Cells:" box Constraints in Subject to the Constraints:" box because the number of markets and the number of production sites are different from the template . . .
