a) Finnish Furniture manufactures tables in facilities located in three cities-Reno, Denver, and Pitts- burgh. The tables are then shipped to three retail stores located in Phoenix, Cleveland, and Chi- cago. Management wishes to develop a distribu- tion schedule that will meet the demands at the lowest possible cost. The shipping cost per unit from each of the sources to each of the destina- tions is shown in the following table: TO FROM PHOENIX CLEVELAND CHICAGO RENO 10 16 19 DENVER 12 14 13 PITTSBURGH 18 12 12 The available supplies are 120 units from Reno, 200 units from Denver, and 160 units from Pitts- burgh. Phoenix has a demand of 140 units, Cleve- land has a demand of 160 units, and Chicago has a demand of 180 units. How many units should be shipped from each manufacturing facility to each of the retail stores if cost is to be minimized? What is the total cost?
