    The relevant cost that must be minimized is the transportation and production costs. Thus we enter the sum of these costs as the cell costs. Thus the cell costs are the cost of producing one unit at a plant and shipping it to a demand point. Optimal solution is given in red. Minimum cost is $40,500.
    Since we have more capacity than demand, minimizing just the transportation cost, may force the use of costlier capacity more fully and leave some inexpensive capacity unused leading to sub-optimization. If we had just enough capacity to meet all demand, simply minimizing the transportation costs would be appropriate since we need all the capacity-- expensive and cheap.

    Since there are more developers than plots one of the developers will not get an assignment. We can handle the situation in two ways: 1) Create a dummy plot (whoever gets the dummy plot does not get a real plot) or 2) Enter the constraints for each developer as "<=" to allow not assigning a plot to one of the developers.
