It is not possible to adjust the transportation simplex method to maximize instead of minimize

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is possible to adjust the transportation simplex method to maximize by multiplying each element of the objective function by -1. This will convert a maximization problem into a minimization problem, and the transportation simplex method can then be applied in the usual manner. Once the optimal solution is obtained, the objective function values can be multiplied by -1 again to obtain the maximized solution.
