Question:
28 The State of Texas frequently does tax audits of companies doing business in Texas. These companies often have headquarters located outside the state, so auditors must be sent to out-of-state locations. Each year, auditors must make 500 trips to cities in the Northeast, 400 trips to cities in the Midwest, 300 trips to cities in the West, and 400 trips to cities in the South. Texas is considering basing auditors in Chicago, New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. The annual cost of basing auditors in any city is $100,000. The cost of sending an auditor from any of these cities to a given region of the country is given in Table 108. Formulate an IP whose solution will minimize the annual cost of conducting outof-
state audits.
