Do problem #1 as follows:

(i) part (a) as shown above. Not that "_" in Table 5.26 on chart (iii) means that this particular cost is prohibitive (too high).

(ii) Repeat part (a) but use the least-cost method to determine an SBFS (Starting Basic Feasible Solution).

(iii) give the LP formulation of each one of the 3 TPs implied by the data in Table 5.26

Note: For all problems you solve clearly describe what is the optimal solution you derive.

1. Consider the transportation models in Table 5.26 (a) Use the northwest-corner method to find the starting solution
