The parameter table given below shows the transportation problem formulation of Option 1 for the Better Products Co. problem presented in Sec. 9.3 of the textbook. As stated in the textbook, the optimal solution for this transportation problem has the following basic variables (allocations): x12 = 30, x13 = 30, x15 = 15, x24 = 15, x25 = 60, x31 = 20, x34 = 25 Verify that this optimal solution actually is optimal by applying just the optimality test portion...
