D)none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An alternative optimal solution to a minimization transportation problem exists when the opportunity cost corresponding to an unused route of transportation is positive with at least one equal to zero. This indicates that there is another route that can be used without increasing the total transportation cost, hence the existence of an alternative optimal solution.
