This paper discusses a paradox in fixed charge capacitated transportation
problem where the objective function is the sum of two linear fractional functions
consisting of variables costs and fixed charges respectively. A paradox arises when the
transportation problem admits of an objective function value which is lower than the
optimal objective function value, by transporting larger quantities of goods over the same
route. A sufficient condition for the existence of a paradox is established. Paradoxical
range of flow is obtained for any given flow in which the corresponding objective
function value is less than the optimum value of the given transportation problem.
Numerical illustration is included in support of theory.
Keywords:
Capacitated transportation problem, paradox, fixed charge.
