  1. Continuing the transportation problem in the case where Supply < demand.

We determined in class that when we add the dummy node, the algebraic form of the LP changes to the following:

Min 0.8 X11 + X12 + 1.2 X13 + 0.6 X21 + 0.8 X22 + X23 + 0 X31 + 0 X32 + 0X33

s.t.

X11 + X12 + X13 5000 Pakistan supply

X21 + X22 + X23 5000 Vietnam supply

X31 + X32 + X33 2000 Dummy supply

X11 + X21 + X31 = 4000 LA demand

X12 + X22 + X32 = 3000 Houston demand

X13 + X23 + X33 = 5000 NYC demand

Xij 0, i = 1, 2, 3; j = 1,2,3
