Explanation / Answer
Solution:
Since the objective is to maximize love, so we assign the jobs according to the greatest possible number assigned by the employees to each job. According to the condition of assigning at least 2 jobs to each employee and all jobs must be assigned, our results are as follows:
Job 1- Monica (9)
Job2- Monica (1)
Job3- Jose (8)
Job 4- Jose (4)
Job5- karia (2)
Job6- karia (9)
Job7- Monica (-2)
Job8- Jose (9)
So the appropriate candidate that would maximize love is:
Monica- job1, job2, and job7
Jose- job3, job4, job8
Karia- job5, job6
