Slick Oil Company has 3 warehouses from which it can ship to 4 retailers. The monthly demand at retailer 1 is 350 drums, at retailer 2 it is 100, at retailer 3 it is 50 and at retailer 4 it is 150 drums. Warehouse 1 has an inventory of 250 units, Warehouse 2 has an inventory of 150 units, and Warehouse 3 has an inventory of 300 units. Given the costs below, they need to determine how product should be shipped between the warehous and the retailers.
