Question 1

17)A transportation problem in which the total number of supply units available is greater than the demand requirements or vice versa is called ______.&#10;A)balanced transportation problem&#10;B)unbalanced transportation problem&#10;C)improved transportation problem&#10;D)feasible transportation problem

Accepted Answer

An unbalanced transportation problem occurs when the total supply units available are not equal to the demand requirements. It may happen due to various reasons like increased or decreased demand, supply disruptions, or inventory management issues. In such cases, the problem needs to be balanced by adding dummy supply or demand points to make it feasible.

Question 2

1)Which of the following is a special case of linear programming problems in which the objective is to minimize the total cost of transporting goods from the various supply origins to the different demand destinations?

A)transportation model
B)Simplex LP
C)iso-profit line method
D)corner point solution method

Accepted Answer

The transportation model is the special case of linear programming problems that deals with minimizing the total cost of transportation from the various supply origins to the different demand destinations. The other options are not specifically related to transportation problems.

Question 3

9)Which of the following statements is FALSE about methods involved in solving a transportation problem?&#10;A)Matrix least cost method reduces the number of computations and the time required to determine the optimal solution.&#10;B)Northwest corner rule is intuitively more appealing and has better rationale than the matrix least cost method.&#10;C)Northwest corner rule begins at the top left-hand corner of the matrix and allocates units until either the supply is exhausted or demand is met.&#10;D)Matrix least cost method begins with the cell that has the lowest per unit cost and allocates units until either the supply is exhausted or demand is met.

Accepted Answer

The statement that Northwest corner rule has better rationale than the matrix least cost method is false. The matrix least cost method is based on mathematical calculations and can provide a more accurate solution as compared to the intuitive approach of Northwest corner rule.

Question 4

5)Which of the following methods involves first allocating shipping units to the northwest (top left-hand)corner of the transportation matrix and then proceeding systematically by making allocations of shipping units to cells along either a row or column until the bottom right-hand corner of the matrix is reached?

A)matrix least cost method
B)matrix maximum profit method
C)northwest corner rule
D)stepping stone method

Accepted Answer

The method described is the northwest corner rule, where allocation starts at the top left corner and moves systematically along rows and columns until the bottom right corner is reached. The other methods listed (matrix least cost, matrix maximum profit, and stepping stone) all involve more complex calculations and are not described by this method.

Question 5

19)A fictitious supply source created to arrive at a balanced transportation problem (i.e.,total demand = total supply)is called ______.&#10;A)dummy supply destination&#10;B)dummy demand destination&#10;C)dummy supply source&#10;D)fictitious supply source

Accepted Answer

A fictitious supply source is added to balance the problem when the total demand is greater than the total supply. This is achieved by adding a dummy supply source with a supply equal to the excess demand.

Question 6

8)______ refer to the occupied cells in the initial solution of the transportation matrix,which are used in arriving at an improved solution.&#10;A)Stepping stones&#10;B)Reference cells&#10;C)Variable cells&#10;D)Improvement matrix methods

Accepted Answer

Stepping stones refer to the occupied cells in the initial solution of the transportation matrix, which are used to evaluate and improve the solution.

Question 7

15)Which of the following is a FALSE assumption about the transportation model?&#10;A)Capacity at each supply location or origin is limited.&#10;B)Demand requirements at each destination are known.&#10;C)Regardless of their origin or destination,the items shipped are homogenous.&#10;D)Between each origin and destination,there are multiple routes used.

Accepted Answer

The transportation model assumes that there is only one route between each origin and destination.

Question 8

6)With the ______ method,an initial feasible solution to the transportation problem is obtained by allocating shipments beginning with the route that has the lowest cost of transportation.&#10;A)matrix least cost method&#10;B)matrix maximum profit method&#10;C)northwest corner rule&#10;D)stepping stone method

Accepted Answer

The matrix least cost method involves allocating shipments starting with the route that has the lowest cost of transportation, which is why it is the correct choice for obtaining an initial feasible solution to the transportation problem based on minimizing costs.

Question 9

12)In the stepping stone method,when the value is obtained by summing up the unit costs in the cells with a plus sign,and then from the resulting total,subtracting the sum obtained by adding the unit costs in cells containing a minus sign,it is called ______.

A)improvement index
B)performance index
C)evaluation index
D)selection index

Accepted Answer

This value obtained by adding and subtracting the unit costs is called the improvement index in the stepping stone method. It is used to determine the feasibility and direction of potential improvements in the current solution. The other options (B, C, D) are not related to this specific calculation in the stepping stone method.
