A minimum cost network flow model (MCNFM)has the following advantage relative to the special case of a simple transportation model.
A)A MCNFM does not require capacity restrictions on the arcs of the network.
B)The flows in a general MCNFM don't all necessarily have to be from supply locations to demand locations.
C)A MCNFM is generally easier to formulate and solve.
D)All of these choices are advantages.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The flows in a general Minimum Cost Network Flow Model (MCNFM) can be more complex than simple supply-to-demand movements, allowing for intermediate nodes, reverse flows, and more intricate network structures, unlike a simple transportation model which primarily focuses on direct supply-to-demand transfers.
