Question: Consider the location / transportation model below where xij = 1 if market j is supplied by plant i and 0 otherwise; yi = 1

Consider the location/transportation model below where xij =1 if market j is supplied by plant i and 0 otherwise; yi =1 if plant i is opened and 0 otherwise.
Objective: Minimize 12000y1+10000y2+14000y3+4800x11+4800x12+4000x21+8400x22+6000x31+10800x32
Constraint type A: x11+ x21+ x31=1; x12+ x22+ x32=1
Constraint type B: 40x11+60x12<=80y1; 40x21+60x22<=100y2; 40x31+60x32<=90y3
