Part 2

The starting solution using northwest-corner method is:

a) The total cost of the initial solution developed using the northwest-corner method = .

The starting solution using the intuitive lowest-cost method is: (Note: You must enter a shipment in every cell, even if the shipment is 0.) Create chart

b) The total cost of the initial solution developed using the intuitive lowest-cost method = $ .

c) The total cost of the optimal solution = $.
