Riker Co. is considering which of four different projects to undertake in order to maximize its net present value (NPV) . Define Xi as a binary (0-1) variable that equals 1 if project i is undertaken and 0 otherwise, for i = 1,2,3,4. The NPV and required capital (in millions) for each project are listed below.
Project Net Present Value Capital Required
1 60 7
2 50 10
3 40 6
4 20 3
