Question 5: A power supply company has three electric power plants that supply the needs of four cities. Each power plant can supply the number of kilowatt-hours (kwh) of electricity: Plant 1: 35 million kwh Plant 2: 50 million kwh Plant 3: 40 million kwh The peak power demands in these cities, which occur at the same time (2PM) are as follows: City 1: 45 million kwh City 2: 20 million kwh City 3: 30 million kwh City 4: 30 million kwh The cost of the sending 1 million kwh of electricity from plant to city depend on the distance the electricity must travel and shown in the following table: City 1 City 2 City 3 City 4 Plant 1 $8 $6 $10 $9 Plant 2 $9 $12 $13 $7 Plant 3 $14 $9 $16 $5 Determine the most economical supply pattern.
