TMA manufactures 37-in. high definition LCD televisions in two separate locations, Locations I and II. The output at Location I is at most 6000 televisions/month, whereas the output at Location II is at most 5000 televisions/month. TMA is the main supplier of televisions to the Pulsar Corporation, its holding company, which has priority in having all its requirements met. In a certain month, Pulsar placed orders for 3000 and 4000 televisions to be shipped to two of its factories located in City A and City B, respectively. The shipping costs (in dollars) per television from the two TMA plants to the two Pulsar factories are as follows.

Companies A, B, and C supply components to three plants (F, G, and H) via two crossdocking facilities (D and E). It costs $4 to ship from D regardless of final destination and $3 to ship to E regardless of supplier. Shipping to D from A, B, and C costs $3, $4, and $5, respectively, and shipping from E to F, G, and H costs $10, $9, and $8, respectively. Suppliers A, B, and C can provide 200, 300 and 500 units respectively and plants F, G, and H need 350, 450, and 200 units respectively. Crossdock facilities D and E can handle 600 and 700 units, respectively. Logistics Manager, Aretha Franklin, had previously used "Chain of Fools" as her supply chain consulting company, but now turns to you for some solid advice.

The federal law requires that transportation companies operating across provincial boundaries carry a minimum of 4 million dollars insurance. The Provincial government has also passed valid legislation dealing with the insurance requirements of trucking companies within Nova Scotia. The provincial law requires trucking companies to carry a minimum of 6 million. You are the owner of a Nova Scotia trucking company that operates in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and Quebec and you only want to carry 4 million dollars of insurance.
