Question: Q . 3 - Consider the following trans. problem, where the unit transportation costs ( $ / unit ) are as follows from source i

Q.3- Consider the following trans. problem, where the unit transportation costs
( $/unit) are as follows from source i to destination j :
Cij; 10,1,5,9. Where i=1,j=1,2,3,4. Respectively.
Cij ;11,2,3,7, Where i=2,j=1,2,3,4.
Cij; 0,7,9,11. Where i=3,j=1,2,3,4.
Cij;4,8,6,14. Where i=4,j=1,2,3,4.
Also, source and destination constraints (in tons) are given as follows:
Source constraints are :90,60,45 and 75 for sources 1,2,3 and 4 respectively.
Destination Constraints : 40,75,55 and 100 for destinations 1,2,3 and 4 respec.
a- Determine the Starting Feasible Solution of this trans. problem by using
"Vogel Approximation Method "and find the Total Transportation Cost.
b- Use this SBFSolution and find the Optimal Feasible Solution. What is the Tota Transportation Cost now?
