Q.2. A
shoe company forecasts the following demands during the next three months: 200,
260, 240. It costs $7 to produce a pair of shoes with regular time labor (RT)
and $11 with overtime labor (OT). During each month regular production is
limited to 200 pairs of shoes, and overtime production is limited to 100 pairs.
It costs $1 per month to hold a pair of shoes in inventory. Formulate a
balanced transportation problem to minimize the total cost of meeting the next
three months of demand on time .
