The unbalanced transportation problem where the total supply exceeds total demand is the case where: In a transportation problem with three locations and two destinations, the objective function is as follows: Min 20X11 + 18X21 + 23 X31 + 16X12 + 14X22 + 12X32. How much does it cost to ship one unit from location 2 to destination 1?

Solution

The cost to ship one unit from location 2 to destination 1 is represented by the coefficient of X21 in the objective function. Therefore, it costs 18 units to ship one unit from location 2 to destination 1.
