Given the Following Transportation Tableau Where the Numbers in Each

question 41

Short Answer

Given the following transportation tableau where the numbers in each cell represent transportation costs from the specific source to the specific destination with supply figures corresponding to each source and demand figures corresponding to each destination:
$$\begin{array} { l c r c c c } & & &{ \text { Source } } \\& & \text { A } & \text { B } & \text { C } & \text { Demand } \\\hline & 1 & \$ 2.2 & 2.4 & 2.1 & 350 \\{ \text { Destination } }& 2 & 3.4 & 3.2 & 3.6 & 400 \\& 3 & 1.9 & 1.8 & 2.1 & 200 \\Supply&&200 & 300 & 450\\\hline\end{array}$$
-According to the Northwest Corner method, the initial solution would have a total transportation cost of ________.
