Problem 1:
Five items might be loaded in a truck. The weight wi, volume vi, and value ri for item i are
tabulated below. The maximum allowable cargo weight and volume are 9 tons and 16 m3,
respectively. Formulate an IP model to maximize total worth.
Problem 2:
Jobco is planning to produce at least 1500 widgets on three available machines. If a machine is
used, a setup cost will be added. The following table gives the pertinent data of the situation.
Formulate the problem as an IP to minimize total cost.
Problem 3:
Max z = 8 x1 + 5 x2
Subject to
x1 + x2 ≤ 6
9 x1 + 5 x2 ≤ 45
x1, x2 ≥ 0; and integers
The following figure shows the branch and bound tree for the IP problem, where t is the order of
solving the subproblems:
