Consider the following transportation table for a minimization problem. For Y, substitute your student numbers last digit and calculate the unit transportation cost of factory to warehouse for the given table. (For example: If your student number last digit is 1, unit transportation cost of factory 1 to warehouse 1 is 8+1=9) Warehouse 1Warehouse 2Warehouse 3SupplyFactory 18TL+Y20TL+Y11TL+Y100Factory 219TL+Y15TL+Y21TL+Y60Factory 322TL+Y12TL+Y26TL+Y40Demand508070 a.
