Hatch Financial, which recently absorbed another firm, is now downsizing and must relocate five information systems analysts from
recently closed locations. Unfortunately, there are only three positions available for five people. Salaries are fairly uniform among this
group (those with higher pay were already given the opportunity to begin anew). Moving expenses will be used as the means of
determining who will be sent where. Estimated moving expenses are in the accompanying table. Model this as an integer optimization
model to minimize cost and determine which analysts to relocate to the three locations.
