Ice Age manufacturers the refrigerators at four locations around the country: Boston, Dallas, Los Angeles, and St. Paul. Plans call for the following number (in thousands) of refrigerators to be produced at each location:

Boston 50

Dallas 70

Los Angeles 60

St. Paul 80

Forbelt’s three plants ae capable of producing the motors. The plans and production capacities (in thousands) are as follows:

Denver 100

Atlanta 100

Chicago 150

Because of varying production and transportation costs, the profit that Forbelt earns on each lot of 1000 units depends on which plant produces the lot and which destination it was shipped to.
