This question provides various modifications of the original given problem. SET UP the balanced tabular form that would return the required optimal solution. After setting up the tabular form, DO NOT SOLVE. 1.) The neighboring city is suddenly in need of 5GWh of emergency supply, which the state must help fulfill. However, due to geographical limitations, the state is not able to supply to this neighbor directly from the plants. Instead, any supply to the neighboring city may be delivered through City 2 or 3 only. The cost of supplying a GWh of electricity from City 2 and 3 to the neighboring city are 2 and 1 respectively.

A state official is trying to figure out the best way to allocate the electricity generated by the three publicly owned electricity plants within the immediate surrounding area to meet the needs (based on peak demand in GWh) of their three constituent cities. The table below summarizes the total costs of supplying a GWh of electricity from any plant to any city, as well as the available supply of the plants and the required demand of the cities. 1 2 3 City Plant Supply 1 3 4 od 50 60 2 5 3 6 3 5 8 70 3 Demand 25 30 40
