Of course, your boss wants you to spend as little money as possible. You call up all the stores in a set S of stores, and store j gives you a per-unit price c¡¡ for product i for all i, j.

Your boss forgot to tell you that he does not want you to buy from too many different stores - he wants you to keep the number of stores from which you buy to at most (integer) k. Modify your formulation in (a), the resulting formulation should be an IP.
