5. Consider the optimal table for a transportation problem given below. Suppose that demand for demand point-1 increased by 1 unit. You have the option to increase supply capacity of one your supply points by 1 unit with no cost at all. Which supply point would you choose to increase its capacity by one unit so that you can optimally meet this extra one-unit demand of demand point-1? What would be your new objective function value (new Z*)? (20 P) D1 D2 D3 Supply 10 12 5 S1 10 10 11 9 8 S2 20 10 10 7 6 13 S3 40 30 10 Demand 30 20 20
