Use the table below to answer the following question(s).
Shirley Templeton is a real estate agent for Paralol Realty.Shirley is given the responsibility to manage potential customers for 5 of the Realty's bungalows.These 5 bungalows are situated in close proximity.In order to make traveling easire, Shirley decides to move to a location closer to the 5 bungalows.The table below gives the location (X and Y coordinates)of the 5 bungalows along with the number of trips she would have to make to each bungalow.Create a nonlinear model based on the data given in the table below noting that the objective is to reduce the weighted distance between Shirley's accommodation and the 5 bungalows.
$\begin{array}{l}
\text { Bungalow Location }\
\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l}
\hline & & & \
\hline \text { Data } & \text { X-coordinate } & Y \text {-coordinate } & \text { Trips/Month } \
\hline \text { Location } & 0 & 0 & 6 \
\hline \text { Bungalow 1 } & 25 & 100 & 30 \
\hline \text { Bungalow 2 } & 20 & 75 & 15 \
\hline \text { Bungalow 3 } & 90 & 80 & 28 \
\hline \text { Bungalow 4 } & 60 & 100 & 10
\end{array}
\end{array}$

-Which of the following is the ideal next step if you get the message "Solver has converged to the current solution./All constraints are satisfied," when using Solver for nonlinear optimization models?
A)Accept the values, but run Solver again from the current solution.
B)Do not accept the Solver values and re-run Solver with the starting values.
C)Accept the values and run simulations with different values.
D)Accept the values, and then tweak the values, and re-run Solver on tweaked values.

If Solver has converged to the current solution and all constraints are satisfied, it means that a local minimum has been reached. Accepting the values and running Solver again from the current solution may lead to a better solution. However, it is also a good idea to evaluate the solution and make sure it makes sense in the context of the problem. Running simulations with different values or tweaking the values should only be done if there is reason to believe that the current solution is not optimal.
