Question 22

A professor has been contacted by five not-for-profit agencies that are willing to work with student consulting teams. The agencies need help with such things as budgeting, information systems, coordinating volunteers, forecasting and distribution.

The professor's estimate of the time, in days, is given in the table below. The goal is to minimize the total time spent.
