austral steel company has 2 re rolling plants locations P1 and P2with supply capacities of 100 and 120 tonnes rod (of fixed diameter) per day, respectively. Austral steel has 3 distribution centers at locations DC1, DC2 and DC3. the distribution centers need if possible, 80,120 ,and 60 tonnes of rod each day respectively to meet distribution demands. The shipping socts ($/tonne) is as follows:
From P1 to DC1 = 1
from P1 to DC2 = 2
From P1 to DC3 = 3
From P2 to DC1=4
from P2 to DC 2 = 1
From P2 to DC3 = 5
