3. Xor Computing makes cutting-edge gaming
3. Xor Computing makes cutting-edge gaming laptops at two manufacturing plants, re- ferred to as 01 and 10. It then sends the laptops in bulk to three distribution hubs, labeled A, B, and C. These three hubs send laptops to retailers in California, Oregon, 2 New York, and Maryland. The below table provides the per-unit production costs and maximum production at each plant. Manufacturing Plant | Production Cost Maximum Production 01 $1,750 500 10 $1,550 600 This table provides the demand at each retailer: California Oregon New York Maryland Demand 350 300 250 200 The following tables provide the per-unit shipping costs from plant to distribution hub, and from distribution hub to retailers. Distribution Hub Manufacturing Plant A B C 01 $4 $4 $8 10 $5 $5 $6 Retailers Distribution Hub |California Oregon New York Maryland A $13 $14 $11 $10 $13 $11 $14 $8 $7 $9 $14 $9 (a) Formulate this problem as a transshipment problem. Make sure to define your variables and provide brief descriptive labels for your constraints. (Hint: Define a set of nodes for the plants, a set of nodes for the distribution hubs, and a set of nodes for the retailers.) (b) Solve your model from part (a) using MATLAB or other software
