Transportation costs per ton of product vary with distance. For trucks the function is: TCt = 3 + 1.25d For rail it is: TCr = 5 + d For barge it is: TCb = 6 + 1.1d where d is the distance in hundreds of miles and TC is dollars per ton. Make a table showing the least cost mode of transport for distances d = 1, 2, ...,10. Graph the problem and label the modal break points clearly.
