Question: Problem 4

Oranges are grown, picked, and then processed and packaged at distribution centers in Tampa, Miami, and Fresno. These centers supply oranges to markets in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Boston. The table below shows the shipping costs per truckload (in $100) from each DC to each market as well as the supply available at each DC (in truckloads) and the demand in each market (in truckloads). Use the Greedy Heuristic discussed in class to generate a solution for this transportation problem and calculate the total cost of the solution.
