To help you get started, here's an example of what your new spreadsheet might look like (the numbers are slightly different than the problem): E B D D H Market Conditions: MB- 380 30 MC 28 10 Objective Function: 01 0 MND 352 40 Discount Rate Total Reserve 0.075 120 Years Out: PV MNB O Constraint Constraint 2: ED CH 105 0 0 9 352 283461 2280825 153.594 147.7887 1 0 M N 068.6539 RHS You should add the necessary columns and use the drag feature to expand your table. As you see, our objective function is now Q1 + Q2 + Q3 + Q4 + Q5 = K We also have the following new constraint that needs to be included: MNB₁ PV[MNB₂] = PV[MNB3] = PV[MNB₁] = PV[MNB, Notice that we are not able to program this equation into our table. The trick here is to see that there are really 4 conditions here we need to satisfy: 1. MNB₁ = PV[MNB₂] 2. PV MNB2] = PV[MNB3] 3. PVMNB 4. PV MNB PV MNB] PV MNB,] Use the same method as Constraint 2 and add 3 additional constraints.
