Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the transportation model, the profit per piece for each i,j cell is denoted by "p" (as given in the objective function). Therefore, option C, which has "p" as the symbol, is the correct choice. The other symbols, IIS, II, and r, are used to represent the supply, demand, and transportation costs, respectively. PR is used to represent the dual variable (shadow price) for the supply constraints, but it is not related to the profit per piece.
