    This document describes a linear programming problem to minimize transport costs for delivering TVs from 3 depots to 3 stores. It provides the distances between each depot and store, the number of TVs available at each depot, the store capacities, and the cost per mile to deliver TVs. The goal is to use the Solver tool to determine how many TVs should be shipped from each depot to each store to minimize total distance costs while not exceeding store capacities.
