Answer: $ 30,290,000

Explanation:

For this question, the transportation table has been addressed below.

“X” indicates that there will be no possible production in the specific cell.

(i) The total cost of optimum production plan = (50,000 x 50) + (50,000 x 78) + (50,000 x 50) + (50,000 x 75) + (20,000 x 91) + (40,000 x 88) + (50,000 x 50) + (50,000 x 75) + (40,000 x 85) + (50,000 x 50) + (2,000 x 75)

= $ 30,290,000.

Therefore, the cost of the plan will be $30,290,000.
