Multiple Choice

Table 10.7
Sagebrush Company has four warehouses (A, B, C, and D) that require monthly shipments of 250, 200, 300, and 200 units per month, respectively. Its three plants (1, 2, and 3) have monthly capacities of 300, 400, and 250, respectively. Shipping costs (in $) follow. A blank transportation method tableau is provided below.
$$\begin{array}{l}\text { Warehouse }\\\begin{array} { | c | c | c | c | c | } \hline \text { Plant } & \text { A } & \text { B } & \text { C } & \text { D } \\\hline 1 & 17 & 16 & 16 & 16 \\2 & 15 & 18 & 16 & 17 \\3 & 18 & 15 & 18 & 16 \\\hline\end{array}\end{array}$$

A) It is the optimal solution.
B) It is not feasible in terms of satisfying warehouse demands.
C) It is not feasible in terms of plant capacities.
D) It is feasible, but not the least- cost allocation pattern.
