There are many variations on the Knapsack problem. In this question, consider the same set up as the 0-1 Knapsack problem except suppose there are as many copies of each item as you would like. Thus, if one of the items is small but very valuable, it is possible to put many exact duplicates of that item into the knapsack. To maximize the value of items in the knapsack, the thief may decide to put in as many of the...

Consider a project with a 4-year life. The initial cost to set up the project is $1,200,000. This amount is to be linearly depreciated to zero over the life of the project. You expect to sell the equipment for $240,000 after 4 years. The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $120,000, which will be recouped at the end of the project. You estimated sales of 52,000 units per year at a price of $177 each. The...
