Question

Bindley Corporation has a one-year contract to supply motors for all washing machines produced by Rinso Ltd. Rinso manufactures the washers at four locations around the country: New York City, Fort Worth, San Diego, and Minneapolis. Plans call for the following numbers of washing machines to be produced at each location:
 

   
New York City 50,000
Fort Worth 70,000
San Diego 60,000
Minneapolis 80,000
 


Bindley has three plants that can produce the motors. The plants and production capacities are
 

   
Boulder 100,000
Macon 100,000
Gary 150,000
 


Due to varying production and transportation costs, the profit Bindley earns on each 1,000 units depends on where they were produced and where they were shipped. The following table gives the accounting department estimates of the dollar profit per unit. (Shipment will be made in lots of 1,000.)
 

  SHIPPED TO
PRODUCED AT NEW YORK CITY FORT WORTH SAN DIEGO MINNEAPOLIS
Boulder 7 11 8 13
Macon 20 17 12 10
Gary 8 18 13 16
 


Given profit maximization as a criterion, Bindley would like to determine how many motors should be produced at each plant and how many motors should be shipped from each plant to each destination.

The table shown contains information on profit distribution across various cities. The rows represent different places while the columns list various cities where the profit is measured. The entries across all cities and locations are currently zero, indicating no profit.

**Table Structure:**

1. **Columns**:
   - New York City
   - Fort Worth
   - San Diego
   - Minneapolis

2. **Rows**:
   - Boulder
   - Macon
   - Gary
   - Total profit

**Values**:
- All individual profits for each city and location are listed as "0".
- The total profit is also "$ 0", indicating an overall profit of zero across all cities and locations.

There are no graphs or diagrams presented, only a numerical table depicting profits which are currently at zero in all categories.
