Northern Airlines is a small regional airline. Management is now
considering expanding the company by buying additional aircraft. One of
the main decisions is whether to buy large or small aircraft to use in the
expansion. The table below gives data on the large and small aircraft that
may be purchased.

As noted in the table, management does not want to buy more than 2 small
aircraft, while the number of large aircraft to be purchased is not limited.

How many aircraft of each type should be purchased in order to maximize
annual profit?
Small Large Capital Available
Annual profit $1 million $5 million
Purchase cost $5 million $50 million $100 million
Maximum purchase quantity 2 No maximum

CAPEX Inc. is a high technology company that faces some important capital budgeting decisions over the next four
years. The company must decide among four opportunities:

1. Funding of a major R&D project.
2. Acquisition of an existing company, R&D Inc.
3. Building a new plant, and
4. Launching a new product.

CAPEX does not have enough capital to fund all of these projects. The table below gives the net present value of each
item together with the schedule of outlays for each over the next four years. All values are in millions of dollars.

Electrical Utility, a mixed integer set-up problem:

A problem faced by an electrical utility each day is that of deciding which generators to start up
in order to minimize total cost. The utility in question has three generators with the
characteristics shown in the table below. There are two periods in a day, and the number of
megawatts needed in the first period is 2900. The second period requires 3900 megawatts. A
generator started in the first period may be used in the second period without incurring an
additional startup cost. All major generators (e.g. A, B, and C) are turned off at the end of the
day. (Assume all startups occur in time period 1.)

Distribution Company, a integer transportation problem:

A distribution company wants to minimize the cost of transporting goods from its warehouses A, B, and C to
the retail outlets 1, 2, and 3. The costs (in $s) for transporting one unit from warehouse to retailer are given
in the following table.
The fixed cost of operating a warehouse is $500 for A, $750 for B, and $600 for C, and at least two of them
have to be open. The warehouses can be assumed to have adequate storage capacity to store all units
demanded, ie., assume each warehouse can store 525 units.

Alpha Airlines, a integer scheduling problem:

Alpha Airlines wishes to schedule no more than one flight out of Chicago to each of the following cities:
Columbus, Denver, Los Angeles, and New York. The available departure slots are 8 A.M., 10 A.M., and
12 noon. Alpha leases the airplanes at the cost of $5000 before and including 10 A.M. and $3000 after 10
A.M., and is able to lease at most two per departure slot. Also, if a flight leaves for New York in a time
slot, there must be a flight leaving for Los Angeles in the same time slot. The expected profit contribution
before rental costs per flight is shown below (in K$)
