The dollar cost of bussing each student is given below: The school board wishes to meet the court order with the least cost. Set up the transportation table for the above problem. Find an initial basic feasible solution by North-West corner rule. Determine the optimal bussing plan using the u-v method.

Explain how this will affect your optimal solution found in (c).
