There are three manufacturing locations and three warehouses.

The warehouses serve their local markets while the factories can ship their products to any of the warehouses. The per-unit transportation cost between different locations is summarized in Table 1.

From/ To Albuquerque Boston Cleveland
Des Moines $5 $3 $2
Evansville $4 $6 $3
Ft. Lauderdale $7 $9 $5

Capacity at Des Moines, Evansville, and Fort Lauderdale is 300, 250, and 450 respectively. The demand at destinations Albuquerque, Boston, and Cleveland are 300, 300 and 400 respectively.
