A total of $850,000 has been made available to buy or lease child care sites throughout the city. The survey indicated the following minimum requirements for each category of child care.

The sites and the pertinent information about those sites is summarized in the table below. Note that all costs are in $1000s. Safety issues included such things as parking condition of the grounds, and condition of the structure. A safety index was used with each site rated as 1 for acceptably safe, 2 for marginally safe, and 3 for marginally safe given some modifications. Any sites surveyed found unacceptable in the safety department were dropped from further consideration.

These new facilities will require staffing. The desired level of staffing is based on a projected child-to-staff ratio.

Question: Formulate the Multiple Objective Linear Programming. Your final formulation must consider, Total cost, maintenance cost, safety index. You must also meet the service level requirements.
