Wheat is harvested in the Midwest and stored in grain elevators in three different cities- Kansas City, Omaha and Des Moines. These grain elevators supply to three flour mills, located in Chicago, St.Louis and Cincinnati on a monthly basis. Grain is shipped to the mills in rail road cars. The following table gives the storage capacity of each grain elevator. Grain Elevator Supply(Tons) 1. Kansas City 150 2.Omaha 175 3. Des Moines 275 Total 600 The monthly demand for each mill is as shown below. Mill Demand(Tons) A. Chicago 200 B. St.Louis 100 C. Cincinnati 300 Total 600The cost of transporting one ton of wheat from each grain elevator (source) to each mill (destination) differs according to the distance and rail system. These costs are shown in the following table. Mill Grain Elevator A. Chicago B. St. Louis C. Cincinnati 1. Kansas City $6 $8 $10 2.Omaha $7 $11 $11 3. Des Moines $4 $5 $12 Now, based on the problem above, answer the questions below. According to NW-Corner rule (the 1st table), the total cost of shipping from Omaha to St. Louis is $1, 100. In the final (optimal) table, Kansas City is supplying 150 tons to St Louis. After 2nd iteration (in Table 3), De Moines supplies 175 tons to Cincinnati. The total cost after 1st iteration (Table 2) is $5,225. According to MODI method, the cell evaluation (C-U-V ) for the cell that ships wheat from De Moines to Chicago in Table 2 is -4. The total cost after 2nd iteration (Table 3) is $5,205. The optimal cost of transportation of wheat from the grain elevators to the flour mills is $4,525. V2 in Table 2 is -5 V3 in Table 1 is 7 The total cost after 2nd iteration (Table 3) is $5,025
