Problem Description: Part I: Solve the transportation problem
for the information provided and find the minimum cost of
transportation. Identify which warehouse has excess capacity or
which store has unmet demand.Part II: Include the following
additional constraints and the compute the incremental cost of each
additional constraint.
(a) All the supply from Warehouse A MUST be shipped.
(b) At least 10000 units must be shipped from Warehouse B to Store
3.

Answer for Part 11 ) with Constraints a-
Below is the screenshot of the solver and result -
Part 2 - With Constrains b)
Below is the screenshot of the solver -
Below is the screenshot of the result -
I have calculate the cost with additional constraints a & b separately. And cost for part 1 and With Constraints A and Constraints B is as given below -
Question | Cost | Incremental Cost from Part 1 |
Part1 | 1308150 | |
Constraint A | 1323050 | 14900 |
Constraint B | 1322950 | 14800 |
