The Riviera Transport Company (RTC) produces car accessories at two plants: Dallas and Atlanta. They ship them to major distribution centers in Houston, San Jose, Jacksonville, and Memphis. The accounting, production, and marketing departments have provided the information in the table below, which shows the unit cost of shipping between any plant and distribution center, plant capacities over the next planning period, and distribution center demands.

Assume Xij = amount shipped from plant i to distribution center j, where i = 1 represents Dallas,
i = 2 represents Atlanta, j = 1 represents Houston, and so on. $\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|}\hline \text { Transportation } & \\\text { Model } & \\\hline & \\\hline \text { Data } & \\\hline & \begin{array}{l}\text { Distribution } \\\text { Center }\end{array} \\\hline \text { Plant } & \text { Houston } & \text { San Jose } & \text { Jacksonville } & \text { Memphis } & \text { Capacity } \\\hline \text { Dallas } & 13.00 & 15.25 & 10.99 & 18.48 & 1250 \\\hline \text { Atlanta } & 10.75 & 15.16 & 9.65 & 18.50 & 750 \\\hline \text { Demand } & 175 & 325 & 480 & 950 & \\\hline\end{array}$ Answer the following question(s) using a linear optimization model.
