Plant capacities and shipping costs per unit (in dollars) from each plant to each warehouse are as follows: Warehouse Plant 1 2 Capacity 1 4 7 2 8 5 600 3 5 6 380 450 Customer demand and shipping costs per unit (in dollars) from each warehouse to each customer are Customer Warehouse 1 2 3 1 6 4 8 4 2 3 6 7 7 Demand 300 300 300 400 Suppose that shipments between the two warehouses are permitted at $2 per unit and that direct shipments can be made from plant 3 to customer 4 at a cost of $7 per unit. a. Develop a network representation of this problem. b. Formulate a linear programming model of this problem. c. Solve the linear program to determine the optimal shipping plan. Your
