Finally, he projected all of the daily expenses for each port including docking fees, local taxes, fuel costs, labor costs, and supplies and raw materials. Sinbad must consider two basic constraints when planning the itinerary. First, the ship must stay at least one day at each of the "target" ports listed because partial-day scheduling is not feasible. Second, the ship cannot spend more than 3 days in any individual target port because maritime regulations and individual port guidelines prevent longer stays. Use the information provided in the next table and help Sinbad find the most profitable itinerary for the ship's maiden voyage.
