$20,150 is not the correct answer for the first problem.

The Britts & Straggon company manufactures small engines at three different plants. From the plants, the engines are transported to two different warehouse facilities before being distributed to three wholesales distributors. The company has a policy that plants must produce a minimum amount each day but cannot exceed their maximum capacity. The per-unit manufacturing cost at each plant is shown in the following table in addition to the minimum required and maximum daily capacities. All product that enters a warehouse must leave the warehouse. Manufacturing Minimum Required Maximum Production Plant Cost Production Capacity 1 $13 150 400 2 $15 150 300 3 $12 150 600 2 The unit cost of transporting engines from each plant to each warehouse is shown in the following table Plant 1 Warehouse 1 $4 $6 $3 Warehouse 2 $5 $4 $5 2 3 The unit cost of shipping engines engines from each warehouse to each distributor is shown in the following table along with the daily demand for each distributor. Daily demand at distributors must be met but cannot be exceeded per the contract that Britts and Straggon has with its distributors. Warehouse 1 Distributor 1 $6 $3 300 Distributor 2 $4 $5 600 Distributor 3 $3 $2 100 2 3 Develop a LP to determine the minimum distribution cost to transport product through the logistics network described above. What is the minimum cost that you calculate for your optimal network? For the Britts & Straggon network above, suppose that the capacity of each warehouse is 500 outgoing shipments per day. What would be the minimum cost for the network with constraints added to account for the 500 unit capacity limitation at each warehouse?
