Department 3 has 2500 hours.Transfers are allowed to departments 2 and 4,and from departments 1 and 2.If A_i measures the labor hours allocated to department i and T_ij the hours transferred from department i to department j,then A)T₁₃ + T₂₃ − T₃₂ − T₃₄ − A₃ = 2500. B)T₃₁ + T₃₂ − T₂₃ − T₄₃ + A₃ = 2500. C)A₃ + T₁₃ + T₂₃ − T₃₂ − T₃₄ = 2500. D)A₃ − T₁₃ − T₂₃ + T₃₂ + T₃₄ = 2500.

The correct equation for calculating the net hours in department 3 after transfers is to start with the initial hours allocated to department 3 (A₃), subtract hours transferred out to departments 1 and 2 (T₁₃ and T₂₃), and add hours transferred in from departments 2 and 4 (T₃₂ and T₃₄). This results in the net hours being equal to 2500.
