2. [30 Pt.) Computers Unlimited sells microcomputers to universities and colleges on the East Coast and ships them from three distribution warehouses. The firm is able to supply the following numbers of microcomputers to the universities by the beginning of the academic year: Four universities have ordered microcomputers that must be delivered and installed by the beginning of the academic year: Distribution warehouse Supply (microcomputers) 1. Richmond 420 2. Atlanta 610 3. Washington, DC 340 Total 1,370 University A. Tech B. A&M C. State D. Central Demand (microcomputers) 520 250 400 380 1,550 Total The shipping and installation costs per microcomputer from each distributor to each university are as follows: To From A B D 1 $22 $17 $30 $18 2 $15 $35 $20 $25 $28 $21 $16 $14 WNL The shipping and installation costs per microcomputer from each distributor to each university are as follows: From A B D 1 $22 $17 $30 $18 2 $15 $35 $20 $25 3 $28 $21 $16 $14 Computer Unlimited in above problem has determined that when it is unable to meet the demand for microcomputers at the universities it supplies. The universities tend to purchase microcomputers elsewhere in the future. Thus, the firm has estimated a shortage cost for each microcomputer demanded but not supplied that reflects the loss of future sales and goodwill. These costs for each university are as follows: University A. Tech B. A&M C. State D. Central Cost/Microcomputer $40 $65 $25 $50 4 Operations Management (MGT 4310) Spring 2022 Instructor: Dr. Mehmet Turkoz Formulate original problem with these shortage costs included. (a) (5 Pt.)
