For the following problem, formulate the LP. DO NOT SOLVE. (Hint: Double Scripted Variables) 4. The Roadnet Transport Company expanded its shipping capacity by purchasing 75 trailer trucks from a bankrupt competitor. The company subsequently located 25 of the purchased trucks at each of its shipping warehouses in Charlotte, Memphis, and Louisville. The company makes shipments from each of these warehouses to terminals in St. Louis, Atlanta, and New York. Each truck is capable of making one shipment per week. The terminal managers have indicated their capacity for extra shipments. The manager at St. Louis can accommodate 42 additional trucks per week, the manager at Atlanta can accommodate 30 additional trucks, and the manager at New York can accommodate 26 additional trucks. The company makes the following profit per truckload shipment from each warehouse to each terminal. The profits differ as a result of differences in products shipped, shipping costs, and transport rates: Warehouse Charlotte Memphis Louisville St. Louis $1600 1220 1350 Atlanta $2050 740 860 New York $1650 900 2100 The company wants to know how many trucks to assign to each route (i.e., warehouse terminal) to maximize profit.
