This article suggests ideas for introducing integer modeling of fixed (entry) costs with Excel Solver to business students. The presented example uses concepts from accounting, such as assessing distribution channel prof-itability, and blends them with management science techniques. The effectiveness of the software use is in in-tegrating it successfully into a comprehensive discussion about assumptions, modeling, limitations, software pitfalls, validation, and implications for managerial decision making. 1
