FlexSteal, marketed as a miracle brush-on sealant and baldness cure, is manufactured at three plants that are struggling to keep up with the demand at the four regional centers. The cost to ship a truckload from each of the existing plants to the regional centers is shown in the table. Note that the capacity and the total demand are both measured in truckloads.

	Philadelphia	Atlanta	Dallas	Los Angeles	Capacity
Plant 1	89	75	93	115	400
Plant 2	120	88	103	93	500
Plant 3	95	82	112	98	500
Total Demand	350	350	350	350

The supply chain manager has explored plant construction costs in two other cities as well as the cost to ship a truckload from each of the plants to the regional centers. The current plan is to build another plant with a capacity of 400 to allow room for sales growth. The construction cost for the new plants and cost to ship to each of the regional centers is shown here.

	Philadelphia	Atlanta	Dallas	Los Angeles	Cost to Build
Plant A	94	78	95	95	$23,500
Plant B	95	88	88	94	$26,000
