(Q7-10: Data set 1- Use Excel file) Suppose the U.S. Pharmaceutical Company has three factories supplying the warehouses of four major customers and its management want to determine the minimum-cost shipping schedule for its monthly output to these customers. Factory supply, warehouse demands, and shipping costs per case for these drugs are shown in the table below.
| From\To | Ohio | Denver | St. Louis | Chicago | Factor Supply | ||||
| Philadelphia | $4 | $10 | $12 | $10 | 60 | ||||
| New Jersey | 6 | 10 | 14 | 15 | 65 | ||||
| Delaware | 8 | 11 | 17 | 20 | 100 | ||||
| Warehouse Demand |
| 40 | 50 | 65 | 70 | 225\225 | |||
The solution below is based on Excel Solver (Linear Programming). Choose the right numbers below (Assume that the solution is based upon the minimization of transportation costs).
| Candidate Solution | Ohio | Denver | St. Louis | Chicago | Total Shipped |
| Philadelphia | 0 | 0 | 0 | (C) |
|
| New Jersey | 0 | (A) | 55 | (D) |
|
| Delaware | 40 | (B) | 10 | 0 |
|
| Total Supplied | 40 | 50 | 65 | 70 |
|
| Cost | Ohio | Denver | St. Louis | Chicago | |
