(b) Given a 5x4 transportation problem, Xij be the amount shipped from source i to destination j and let cij be the corresponding transportation cost per unit. The amounts of supply at sources 1,2,3,4 and 5 are 140,240,190,200 and 180 units respectively and the demands at destinations 1,2,3 and 4 are 200,350,250 and 150 units respectively. Assume that the starting northwest-corner solution is optimal and that the associated values of the multipliers are given as; uz= -2 , Uz=3, Uz=5, 44=2, u5=5,01=10. V2= 10, V3=6, V4= 4 (i)Find the associated optimal cost. AP[ 5 ] (ii)Determine the smallest value of Cij for each nonbasic. AP[ 4]
