Nonlinear objective with integer decision variables

Description
The examples describe problems with a nonlinear objective function and some integer decision variables.
  1. A craftsman wants to optimise its revenue based on the size of the produced wooden boxes (boxes02.mos)
  2. Dealers sell apples at a market at the same price and the game is to find the quantity sold and the associated price (pricechange.mos).

   A craftsman makes small wooden boxes for sale. 
   He has four different shapes or styles of box, and can make each of
   them in any size (keeping all the dimensions in proportion). 
   The profit he makes on a box depends on the size.   
   He has only a limited amount of the necessary wood available and a
   limited amount of time in the week to do the work.    
   How many boxes should he make, and what size should they be, 
   in order to maximize his profit?
