Each of these requires different funding over the next two years, and the net present value of the investments also varies. The following table provides the required investment amounts (in $1,000s) and the net present value (NPV) of each (also expressed in $1,000s):

Investment
NPV Year 1 Year 2
Apartment 18 40 30
Shopping Center 15 30 20
Mini-warehouse 14 20 20

The company has $80,000 to invest in year 1 and $50,000 to invest in year 2.

(a) Develop an integer programming model to maximize the NPV in this situation.
