Solve the below:
Q1: Three quarries produce lime which is then shipped to five warehouses
Quarry Tons Lime
1 200
2 100
3 150
Transport Costs (per ton)
Quarry 1 2 3 4 5
1 $5 $1 $6 $3 $1
2 $2 $3 $4 $5 $4
3 $4 $2 $3 $2 $3
Q2: Demand 80 90 100 70 60
(tons)
Minimize the transportation costs
As demand(400) is less than supply(450), this is an unbalanced problem. The supply constraints would have <= sign.
Transportation costs(per ton)
Warehouse
Quarry 1 2 3 4 5
1 $5.00 $1.00 $6.00 $3.00 $1.00
2 $2.00 $3.00 $4.00 $5.00 $4.00
3 $4.00 $2.00 $3.00 $2.00 $3.00
Tons of lime shipped
Warehouse
Quarry 1 2 3 4 5 Shipped Capacity
1 0 90 0 20 60 170 <= 200
2 80 0 0 0 0 80 <= 100
3 0 0 100 50 0 150 <= 150
