Question 1
A transportation problem has a feasible solution when
◦ all the squares are used.
◦ the solution yields the lowest possible cost.
◦ the number of filled cells is one less than the number of rows plus the number of columns.
◦ all demand and supply constraints are satisfied.
◦ all of the improvement indices are greater than or equal to zero.
Question 2
A transportation problem has an optimal solution when
◦ the number of filled cells is one less than the number of rows plus the number of columns.
◦ all the squares are used.
◦ all origin-destination combinations have been made equally low in cost.
◦ all of the improvement indices are greater than or equal to zero.
◦ all demand and supply constraints are satisfied.
