2. Transportation Problem Tropicsun is a leading grower and distributor of fresh citrus products with three large citrus groves scattered around central Florida in the cities of Mt. Dora, Eustis, and Clermont. Tropicsum currently has 275,000 bushels of citrus at the grove in Mt. Dora, 400,000 bushels at the grove in Eustis, and 300,000 bushels at the grove in Clermont. Tropicsum has citrus processing plants in Ocala, Orlando, and Leesburg with processing capacities to handle 200,000, 600,000, and 225,000 bushels, respectively. Tropicsum contracts with a local trucking company to transport its fruit from the groves to the processing plants. The trucking company charges a flat rate for every mile that each bushel of fruit must be transported. Each mile a bushel of fruit travels is known as a bushel-mile. The following table summarizes the distances (in miles) between the groves and processing plants: Groves Mt. Dora Eustis Clermont Ocala 21 35 55 Distances (in miles) between Groves and Plants Orlando 50 30 20 Leesburg 40 22 25 Tropicsum wants to determine how many bushels to ship from each grove to each processing plant to minimize the total number of bushel-miles the fruit must be shipped.
