The northwest-corner allocation method starts by allocating as much as possible to the cell in the top left corner, in this case Source 1 - Destination 1. The maximum that can be allocated is 15 (the minimum between the supply of 20 from Source 1 and the demand of 25 from Destination 1). Therefore, the allocation to Source 1 - Destination 2 would be 15-0 = 15.
