Consider again the original problem ( i . e . supply in Pittsburgh is 1 8 0 units and there are no storage or production

Consider again the original problem (i.e. supply in Pittsburgh is 180 units and there are no storage or
production costs). Now suppose that the supply at plant 2(Memphis) decreased from 280 to 250
creating excess of total demand over total supply. The following table provides the cost per unit that
GBC incurs for not satisfying demand at each warehouse (the costs are incurred because of penalties
built into contracts with customers served by each warehouse).
Warehouse 12345
Cost per unit of unsatisfied demand $0.15 $0.10 $0.25 $0.20 $0.05
Modify the original network structure/graph and the corresponding LP model to determine the shipping
plan that will have the minimum total costs (in this case total costs include shipping costs & shortage costs)
