Please complete the following question:

You can write down your network models on a piece of paper, take a photo and attach the pdf document.

A company imports goods at two ports: Philadelphia and New Orleans. Shipments of one product are made to

customers in Atlanta, Dallas, Columbus, and Boston. For the next planning period, the supplies at each port, customer

demands, and shipping costs per case from each port to each customers are as follows:

a$)$ Develop a network representation diagram $(5$ pts$)$

b$)$ Formulate LP model to determine the plan that will minimize total distribution cost. ie$.$ develop the algebraic

model only $($Hint: consider balance of flow rules$)(10$pts$)$
