The cost of transporting goods from 4 plants to 4 markets is given below.

Each market must receive at least 100, market 3 must get all it's demand
met. All supply must be used. Minimize total cost.

Col totals are the amounts being sent to
Objective: Minimize total cost = sumproduct(cij,xij) = 26150
Constraints:
Col totals >= 100; (Each market must get at least 100)
Col 3 total = 700; (market 3 must have all demand met)
Row totals = Supply; (all supply must be used)
Col totals <= Demand; (not enough supply to meet demand)
xij >= 0; (negative transport not possible)
Note: Since demand exceeds supply, demand is acting as upper limit (less than or
equal to constraint) and supply is acting as upper limit (equal to constraint)
