- 2. Unbalanced. Provide the transportation model for the calculation of cost given the following data: Use the Stepping Stone Method to solve the following. Use degeneracy method or dummy method if necessary.a. set up the transportation tableau for this problem, determine the initial solution using VAM and compute total cost b. solve using MODI c. are there multiple optimal solition? explain, if there are alternative solution, identify them d. formulate this problem as a linear programming modelASAP PLEASE.. The distribution of goods from the source (factory) to the target (warehouse) will cause problems regarding TRANSPORT, namely how the goods are sent from the factory to the warehouse which produces minimum costs. If it is known that - the capacity of 3 factories is 40000, 30000 and 20000, - the need for 3 warehouses is 20000, 50000 and 30000 respectively. The cost of shipping goods from the factory to the warehouse is shown in the following table Solve the above TRANSPORTATION problems with VAM and MODI
- A garment producer has three warehouses W1, W2, and W3. These warehouses have 30, 60, and 70 units of their items. Their five retail showrooms at R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 need 35, 20, 40, 28, and 12 units respectively. Determine the optimum distribution cost. The transport cost in ($ per unit) between every warehouse and every retail showroom is presented in the below table: Warehouse Retail Showroom R1 R2 R3 R4 R5 W1 55 30 40 50 40 W2 35 30 100 45 60 W3 40 60 95 35 30Suppose the company has received a proposal for setting up another warehouse(Warehouse E) with a capacity of 900 units. The location of the warehouse is such thatthe unit costs of transporting to the six cities are as follows: Hyderabad–45, Mysore–75, Chennai–30, Kochi–65, Pune–90 and Vizag–80. The company would like to knowhow the allocation will change if the warehouse is made operational and the likely costimpact on the operation of the system. After balancing above table by which method we should solve this problemBao wants to consolidate the sales data in the S., Canada, and U.K. worksheets on the All Locations worksheet. Ungroup the worksheets, go to the All Locations worksheet, and then consolidate the data as follows: In cell B6, enter a formula using the SUM function and a 3D reference to total the revenue from Action movies in Quarter 1 (cell B6) in the U.S., Canada, and U.K. Copy the formula in cell B6 to calculate the revenue from the other types of movies for all four quarters (range B7:B11 and C6:E11), pasting the formula only.
- The Winston Company has four distribution centers (A, B, C, and D) that require 40,000, 60,000, 30,000, and 50,000 gallons of de-ionized water, respectively, per month for cleaning its long-haul trucks. Three de-ionized water wholesalers (1, 2, and 3) indicated their willingness to supply as many as 50,000, 70,000, and 60,000 gallons, respectively. The total cost (shipping plus price) of delivering 1,000 gallons of de-ionized water from each wholesaler to each distribution center is shown in the following table: Distribution Center Wholesaler A B C D 1 $1.30 $1.40 $1.80 $1.60 2 $1.30 $1.50 $1.80 $1.60 3 $1.60 $1.40 $1.70 $1.50 Determine the optimal solution. Show that all capacities have been exhausted and that all demands can be met with this solution.

Compacts cost $18,000 each, intermediate-size cars cost $27,000 each, and full-size cars cost $36,000 each. If Hartman purchases twice as many compacts as intermediate-size cars and the total number of cars to be purchased is 100, determine how many cars of each type will be purchased. (Assume that the entire budget will be used. Let x, y, and z denote the number of compact, intermediate-sized, and full-size cars purchased, respectively.) = 2,250,000 = x = 100General Ford produces cars at L.A. and Detroit and hasa warehouse in Atlanta; the company supplies cars tocustomers in Houston and Tampa. The cost of shipping a carbetween points is given in Table 60 (“—” means that ashipment is not allowed). L.A. can produce as many as1,100 cars, and Detroit can produce as many as 2,900 cars.Houston must receive 2,400 cars, and Tampa must receive1,500 cars.a Formulate a balanced transportation problem thatcan be used to minimize the shipping costs incurred inmeeting demands at Houston and Tampa.b Modify the answer to part (a) if shipments betweenL.A. and Detroit are not allowed.c Modify the answer to part (a) if shipments betweenHouston and Tampa are allowed at a cost of $5.
