Transportation Costs Referring to Table 13.1 in your course textbook, extend the result by adding the following weights: X1 (2) at Si, X: (4) at S2, and x (1) from possible F locations to market (M). Calculate the weighted total transportation costs (WT) by applying weights. Then answer the following questions. Assume transportation rate (0) = 1 for both inputs and outputs for all directions.
