Jerusalem Medical Ltd., an Israeli producer of portable kidney dialysis units and other medical products develops a 4-month aggregate plan. Demand and capacity (in units) are forecast as follows: L The cost of producing each dialysis unit is $875 on regular time, $1,310 on overtime, and $1,500 on a subcontract. Inventory carrying cost is $100 per unit per month. There is to be no beginning or ending inventory in stock and backorders are not permitted. Minimizing cost using the transportation method, the optimal cost is $ (enter your response as a whole number). The cost of producing each dialysis unit is $985 on regular time, $1,310 on overtime, and $1,600 on a subcontract. Inventory carrying cost is $100 per unit per month. There is to be no beginning or ending inventory in stock and backorders are not permitted. Set up a production plan that minimizes cost using the transportation method. First calculate regular time, overtime, and subcontracting costs. Holding cost is linear, so when you move across a row from left to right, costs are lowest when output is used the same period it is produced. Costs of not using capacity are zero. Fill in the table below (enter your responses as whole numbers.) Now solve the problem using the transportation method. Transportation problems require that supply equals demand; so, a column called "dummy" has been added. In general, to complete the table, allocate as much production as possible to a cell with the smallest cost without exceeding the unused capacity in that row or demand in that column. If there is still some demand left in that column, allocate as much as possible to the next-lowest-cost cell. (Enter your responses as
