Question

A sports apparel company has received an order for a college basketball team’s national championship
T-shirt. The company can purchase the T-shirts from textile factories in Mexico, Puerto Rico,
and Haiti. The shirts are shipped from the factories to companies in the United States that silk-screen
the shirts before they are shipped to distribution centers. Following are the production and transportation
costs ($/shirt) from the T-shirt factories to the silk-screen companies to the distribution centers,
plus the supply of T-shirts at the factories and demand for the shirts at the distribution centers: Determine the optimal shipments to minimize total production and transportation costs for the
apparel company.
