X, Y, and Z) have indicated their willingness to supply up to 50,000, 80,000 and 40,000 gal
The total costs (shipping plus price) of delivering a gallon of fuel from each wholesaler to

To solver for the optimal allocation pattern to this transportation problem, enter the cost
in the Inputs worksheet, then click its Solve button. Be sure that the total capacity equal
