Apples are grown, picked, and then stored in Farms in Cities 1, 2, and 3. These Farms supply apples to markets in Cities A, B, C, and D. The following table shows the shipping costs per shipload (in hundreds of dollars), supply, and demand. Because of an agreement between farms, shipments are prohibited from City 2 to City C: From to A B С D Supply 9 14 12 17 200 2 11 10 6 10 200 3 12 15 7 200 Demand 130 170 100 150 1 How to minimize the total shipping cost to achieve the distribution? Please formulate this problem as a linear programming model, and solve it by using the computer.
