- Suppose there are 4 supply points and 10 demand points. The per unit cost to ship from supply point to demand point is in the matrix below:
| From/To | DP1 | DP2 | DP3 | DP4 | DP5 | DP6 | DP7 | DP8 | DP9 | DP10 | Capacity |
| Plant A | 60 | 70 | 55 | 80 | 90 | 50 | 75 | 90 | 110 | 60 | 300 |
| Plant B | 90 | 100 | 70 | 70 | 80 | 90 | 95 | 65 | 70 | 90 | 300 |
| Plant C | 70 | 80 | 80 | 90 | 60 | 60 | 70 | 95 | 95 | 100 | 300 |
| Plant D | 100 | 75 | 100 | 100 | 75 | 80 | 100 | 100 | 80 | 80 | 200 |
| Demand | 100 | 120 | 160 | 100 | 90 | 80 | 110 | 140 | 85 | 95 | X |
1) Which plant should serve which demand points?
2) What is the lowest cost?
3) How much is it worth to add capacity to Plant A?
