Accounting

Suppose a faucet manufacturer imports fixtures from oversees companies. Ships carrying the
fixtures arrive in either New York, Charleston or Miami. The fixtures are then transported
via rail to distribution centers in either Houston, Memphis, and Chicago. The per unit costs
of the transport is given in the network below.
(a) Give an LP representing the flow of goods from supply centers to warehouses at minimum costs
(e) Suppose the cost to ship from Miami to Memphis changes from 17t o 17+, find a range
of values so that the optimal shipping routes remain the same. If goes beyond the
bound, describe what happens to produce a new optimal solution.
(f) Suppose the amount supplied at Miami and demanded at Chicago both go up by 500.
Describe what happens to the current solution to re-establish optimality. Do this without
resolving the problem from scratch.
