Jackson Sheds has four different warehouse configurations under study, ranging from four warehouses to seven warehouses (only integer values). Each warehouse has a capacity of 300 units and costs $200 to maintain over the course of a year. Demand can range from 1,000 units per year up to 2,000 units in increments of 250 units. If the system warehouse capacity is sufficient to handle the year's demand, then the per unit cost is $2 per unit, but if the warehouse capacity is insufficient, the per unit cost for each unit in excess of system capacity is $5 per unit. The likelihood for each possible demand is shown in the table.
