Three car showrooms A, B and C are supplied by cars from three ports, 1, 2 and 3. The table below gives the cost, in pounds, of transporting a car from each port to each showroom. Ports 1, 2 and 3 have stocks of 600, 400 and 800 cars respectively. A, B and C require 400, 500 abd 700 cars respectively. The aim is to minimise the total cost of transporting the cars.
