Making the final
assignmentIn making the final assignment you should if possible
first consider rows and columns that have only one zero entry. For Example 1 we
obtained the final opportunity cost matrix:600*0*0090*1Column 1 has only one
zero so we must use it (*).Row 3 has only one
zero so we must use it (*).Allocation (assignment) problems 37As row 2 and row 3 and also column 1 and column 2 have
their cell designated the remaining zero entry to be used must be (1 3).This agrees with the assignment made by inspection earlier.
From the above we can see that it is the only optimal assignment.
