Problem 1: (Transportation Model)

For the example given in class, there are 2 supply locations and 3 demand locations, and the quantity supplied and demanded in each location, and the unit shipping cost are given below:

Quantity Supplied	Supply Center	Demand Center	Quantity Demanded
500	A. Davis	1. SF	400
750	A. Bakersfield	1. LA	550
		1. SD	300

Supply Center Demand Center Unit Shipping Cost

A. Davis 1 - SF $5

2 - LA $9

3 - SD $12

B. Bakersfield 1 - SF $11

2 - LA $3

3 - SD $5

(a) Set up and Solve the LP problem using Solver; Print the answer and sensitivity report;

(b) Fill out the following table:

	Consumer's Willingness to Pay for receiving one unit of the product
SF
LA
SD
	Supplier's Willingness to Accept for shipping one unit of the product
Davis
Bakersfield

(c) What is the MB (or the value-added) of shipping one unit from Bakersfield to SF? What is the MC of shipping one unit from Davis to SF? What is the optimal shipment from Bakersfield to SF? Why?

(d) What is the MB (or the value-added) of shipping one unit from Davis to San Diego? What is the MC of shipping one unit from Davis to San Diego? What is the optimal shipment from Davis to San Diego? Why?

(e) What is the MB (or the value-added) of shipping one unit from Bakersfield to LA? What is the MC of shipping one unit from Bakersfield to LA? Why the optimal shipment from Bakersfield to SF is greater than zero?
