Using the Hughes or Armstrong Model

By assigning costs to fleet increases in each model parameter, investigate the optimum way to equip a fleet to fight a known enemy under the Hughes or Armstrong models.

For example, you might set a budget of $10 million with the following:

Increasing offensive power costs by $2,000,000 per unit

Increasing defensive power costs by $1,000,000 per unit

Increasing staying power costs by $500,000 per unit.

How should a fleets parameters be improved within the budget to best fight an enemy with known parameter values?
