A wheat distribution company transports wheat from 3 silos to 4 mills. The supply of silo 1 is 15 tons, silo 2 is 25 tons, and silo 3 is 10 tons. The demand of mill 1 is 5 tons, mill 2 is 15 tons, mill 3 is 15 tons, and mill 4 is 15 tons. The value i represents the amount of wheat (per ton) to be shipped from silo i to mill j. The supply capacities of the silos, the demand capacities of the mills, along with the shipping cost from silo i to mill j are given in the tables below. (3.1) (5 points) Use the table below to compute the minimum cost of transportation using the Northwest-Corner Method.
