You have been asked to choose which investments should be made.
A. Using Solver, determine which of the above projects should be included in the budget if the firm's goal is to maximize shareholder wealth. (Note: Set Solver to use the Simplex LP method, and turn off the Ignore Integer Constraints setting.)
B. Now assume that the CFO has informed you that projects A and B are mutually exclusive, but one of them must be selected. Change your Solver constraints to account for this new information and find the new solution. (Use the same options as in part a.)
C. Ignore the constraints from part B. The CFO has now informed you that Project I is of great strategic importance to the survival of the firm. It must be accepted. Which projects should be accepted?
