Question

A community council must decide which recreation facilities to construct in its community. Four new recreation facilities have been proposed—a swimming pool, a tennis center, an athletic field, and a gymnasium. The council wants to construct facilities that will maximize the expected daily usage by the residents of the community, subject to land and cost limitations. The expected daily usage and cost and land requirements for each facility follow:
The community has a $140,000 construction budget and 14 acres of land. The tennis center is conditional upon construction of the swimming pool. The council wants to know which of the recreation facilities to construct to maximize the expected daily usage.
