Its three plants (1, 2, and 3) have monthly capacities of 300, 400, and 250, respectively. Shipping costs (in $) follow. A blank transportation method tableau is provided below.
$$\begin{array}{l}\text { Warehouse }\\\begin{array} { | c | c | c | c | c | } \hline \text { Plant } & \text { A } & \text { B } & \text { C } & \text { D } \\\hline 1 & 17 & 16 & 16 & 16 \\2 & 15 & 18 & 16 & 17 \\3 & 18 & 15 & 18 & 16 \\\hline\end{array}\end{array}$$
