Company has also three seperate distribution centers (DC1, DC2 and DC3) to satisfy the retailers' demand.

Each facility has a weekly capacity of 50 LCD's to produce, and each distribution center needs 25 LCD's weekly to satisfy their demand.

a) Using the data calculate the minimum transportation cost weekly plan to satisfy the demands of each distribution center.
