In formulating a transportation problem as linear programming model,which of the following statements are correct?
A) There is one constraint for each supply location
B) There is one constraint for each demand location
C) The sum of decision variables out of a supply location is constrained by the supply at that location
D) The sum of decision variables out of all supply locations to a specific demand location is constrained by the demand at that location
E) All of these options

All of the given statements are correct. Each supply location needs a constraint to ensure that the maximum supply capacity is not exceeded, and each demand location needs a constraint to ensure that the required demand is fulfilled. Additionally, the sum of decision variables from a supply location and to a demand location must be less than or equal to the supply or demand capacity, respectively. Therefore, all of choices A, B, C, and D are correct, and the answer is E.
