A town has budgeted $250,000 for the development of new rubbish disposal areas.
Seven sites are available, whose projected capacities and development costs are given
below. Which sites should the town develop? [2] Capacities (tons per week) and costs (in
thousands) for each cities are in Table
Table 7: List of the capacity(tons/wk) and the cost ($1000/unit) for each site
Now we will take this word problem and convert it to one of the mathematical
programming models introduced previously. Because of the nature of this problem, we
will model this problem under different constraints to see the effects of a constraint.
