Notes:
You must enter unit shipping costs in D17:H21, supply in I5:I9,
and demand in D10:H10.

Optionally you may enter source names in C17:C21 and destination names in D16:H16.

You may enter values in changing cells (D5:H9) to demonstrate a manual solution.

You may format cells or change column widths as desired.

You may hide or delete uneeded columns or rows.

You may insert additonal columns or rows, you should insert columns in the middle of the
range and not at the end.
Unbalanced problems with supply exceeding demand can be solved without using Dummy column.
Unbalanced problems with demand exceeding supply are not feasible and will require a Dummy row.

In order to solve, the Solver Add-in must be available, use Tools Add-In and select Solver if necessary.

You may solve problem either by pressing the Maximize or Minimize button or by selecting Solver in the Tools menu.

Small numbers in scientific notation (e.g. 2.4091E-11) reflects the precision of Solver and can be treated as zero.

The Clear button enables you to clear all coefficients and changing cells.

Notes:
You must enter unit shipping costs in N5:R9 and N15:R19, supply in I5:I9,
demand in D20:H20, and transshipment capacity in D10:H10.

Transshipment capacity is large (e.g. 999) for existing transshipment

points and zero for non-existent transshipment points.

Optionally you may enter source names in M5:M9, transshipment names

in N4:R4, and destination names in N14:R16.
