Q1. Solve the following transportation problems and find the optimum transportation cost data.

Warehouse/Store S1 S2 S3 S4 Demand
W1 9 7 10 8 14
W2 8 11 9 11 27
W3 13 10 12 10 14
Requirement 15 19 11 10 55/55

Q2. A company has received a contract to supply gravel for three construction projects in
Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Birgunj. The gravel will be transported from three supply pits labeled
X, Y, and Z. Construction engineers have estimated the required quantities of gravel at each
project site, and the available supply at each pit is known. The transportation cost per unit (in
NPR) from each pit to each project location is given in the table below:

Pit/Project Location Kathmandu Pokhara Birjung Supply


X 4 8 8 76
Y 16 24 16 82
Z 8 16 24 77
Demand 72 102 41 215/235

 Develop an optimal transportation schedule that minimizes the total transportation cost
while satisfying all supply and demand constraints.
 Determine the total transportation cost based on your schedule.
 Assess whether the transportation cost is optimal using an appropriate method.
