The northwest-corner allocation method involves starting at the top left corner of the matrix and allocating values to cells by moving horizontally and vertically along the matrix. In this case, we would allocate all 10 units from Source 1 to Destination 1 (as this is the maximum possible allocation for this cell), and then allocate the remaining 5 units from Source 1 to Destination 2 (as this is the next available cell along the same row). Therefore, the northwest-corner allocation to the cell Source 1 - Destination 2 is 5. This is the best choice as it satisfies the supply and demand constraints, and allocates as much as possible to each cell while minimizing total cost.
