The University Bookstore at Tech is considering several expansion projects, including developing a store Web site for online retail and catalog purchases, buying an off-campus warehouse and its subsequent expansion, developing a clothing and gift department specializing in university logo apparel, opening a computer department carrying both hardware and software products, and creating a banking pavilion of three automated teller machines outside the store. Some of the projects will be developed over a 2-year period and some over a 3-year period, as funds permit. The net present value costs per year and the projected net present value of returns for a 5-year period for each of the projects are shown in the following table: Project Costs/Year ($1,000s) NPV Return Project ($1,000s) 1 2 3 1. Web site $120 $55 $40 $25 2. Warehouse 85 45 35 20 105 3. Clothing department 4. Computer department 5. ATMS 60 25 140 50 35 30 70 30 30 Available funds per year $150 $110 $60 In addition, the store does not have enough space available to create both a computer department and a clothing department. The bookstore director wants to know which projects to select to maximize returns. Solve using 0–1 integer programming model.
