A company is considering opening warehouses in four cities

A company is considering opening warehouses in four cities: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Atlanta. Each warehouse can ship 100 units per week. The weekly fixed cost of keeping each warehouse open is $400 for New York, $500 for Los Angeles, $300 for Chicago, and $150 for Atlanta. Region 1 of the country requires 80 units per week, region 2 requires 70 units per week, and region 3 requires 40 units per week. The costs (including production and shipping costs) of sending one unit from a plant to a region are shown in Table 11. We want to meet weekly demands at minimum cost, subject to the preceding information and the following restrictions:

1 If the New York warehouse is opened, then the Los Angeles warehouse must be opened.

2 At most two warehouses can be opened.

3 Either the Atlanta or the Los Angeles warehouse must be opened.

Formulate an IP that can be used to minimize the weekly costs of meeting demand.
