Using data below, develop a model that can determine how many tons of wheat to transport from each grain elevator to each mill on a monthly basis?
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|}
\hline \begin{tabular}{l}
Grain \\
Elevator
\end{tabular} & Supply & Mill & Demand \\
\hline \begin{tabular}{c}
1. Kansas \\
City

1) Formulate the LP model (complete formulation no need for solution)
2) If we need to enhance the model so that we can decide on which Grain Elevator to select for supplies, what needs to be done for the model (show full details).
