You work as a delivery driver for a manufacturer. You are tasked to purchase and bring deliverables per ton to two separate warehouses. In the graph below, you can see the cost of delivery per ton at each bay per warehouse. You can see the price per ton necessary for purchasing at each respective warehouse along with the availability of deliverables at each site. 1. Find the minimum cost to satisfy the solution (3500 dollars).

Also, you need to buy extra trucks to do the delivery work as it is too much for just yourself. The trucks can bring five tons and the cost of each truck is 5*cost from bay to warehouse and you each truck has to be completely filled.

2. Create an assignment problem by creating a cost table and assigning workers and tasks.
