3. You are a planning engineer for a metropolitan area. You want to minimize the cost of landfilling the refuse produced by Cities A, B, C and D under your jurisdiction. Three of the cities (A, B and D) also have landfills, but their capacities do not match up with the amount of waste produced in each city. Each city produces the following amount of refuse:
A: 100 tons/day
B: 50 tons/day
C: 60 tons/day
D: 40 tons/day
The landfills have the following capacities:
A: 50 tons/day
B: 75 tons/day
D: 150 tons/day
The cost per ton for hauling and landfilling are given in the following matrix:
