Question: A licence to shoot a moose costs $115 for residents and $920 for non-residents. The government must decide how many licences to issue in both cate-gories. There is a demand for up to 30,000 resident licences, and up to 12,000 non-resident licences; these are system constraints. The government has several goalpriorities which in descending order of importance are (i) earn at least $12,006,000 in revenue (ii) issue at least 80% of licences to residents, and (iii) limit the total number of licences to 40,000.
(a) By hand-writing and converting to pdf, or by doing this in Word, formulate this goal programming model. [Note: the symbolic objective function cannot be put into a computer.]
(b) Give the algebraic model in LINGO syntax or in an Excel file for the first sub-problem, and solve.
(c) Embedding the solution from (b), give the algebraic model in LINGO syntax or in an Excel file for the second sub-problem, and solve.
(d) Embedding the solution from (c), give the algebraic model in LINGO syntax or in an Excel file for the third sub-problem, and solve.
(e) State the overall solution in words.
