=== 3)Using the Method of Multipliers, the values of U1, U2, U3, & U4, are respectively * a-0, 9, 1, -3 b-9, 0, 1, -3 c-None of the answers. d-9, 9, 1, -3 e-0, 9, 1, 3

=== 4)Using the Method of Multipliers, the values of V1, V2, V3, & V4, are respectively * a-3, -8, 5, 9 b-3, 8, 5, 9 c-8, 8, 5, 9 d-None of the answers. e-9, 8, 5, 9

=== 5)The entering variable is * a-X41 b-X13 c-X14 d-X24 e-None of the answers.

=== 6)The closed loop consists of cells * a-X14, X22, X32, X33 b-X24, X33, X43, X41 c-X24, X23, X33, X34 d-None of the answers. e-X32, X33, X43, X44

=== 7)The value of is * a-8 b-4 c-6 d-2 e-None of the answers.

=== 8)The transportation cost resulting from the iteration is: * a-$180 b-$808 c-$88 d-$880 e-None of the answers.

=== 9)Is the resulting Transportation Matrix "Optimal" ? * a-Yes, since all reduced costs are > 0. b-No, since there are still reduced costs > 0. c-None of the answers. d-No, since there are still reduced costs
