Develop a table that lists every possible option available to management. As part ofyour table, indicate the total engine block capacity and transmission capacity for eachpossible option, whether the option is feasible based on the projected needs, and thetotal modernization cost for each option. b. Based on your analysis in part (a), what recommendation would you providemanagement? c. Formulate a 0-1 integer programming model that could be used to determine the opti-mal solution to the modernization question facing management. (1. Solve the model formulated in part (c) to provide a recommendation for management.
