Question 1: GGV Corp. is considering the expansion of its networking and communication equipment production. Four projects are being considered. Projects A and B are mutually exclusive, and Projects C and D are mutually exclusive. Project C cannot be selected unless Project A or B has been selected. Project D is an optional add-on of Project A. The company's board of directors has approved $2 million for this expansion. In addition, because of limited personnel, only 27,000 labor hours can be committed to the expansion. Formulate the resource allocation problem as a linear programming model. Use a MARR of 7.2% per year.
