Abstract: Abstract The main aim of this paper is to determine a transportation schedule that maximizes the profit percentage of a trading firm , D. M. Chemicals that deals in the trade of soap stone across various states of India. The problem under consideration is modeled as a fractional capacitated transportation problem with bounds on rim conditions. The data is taken from the account keeping books of the firm. A related transportation problem is formulated and the solution of the given problem is shown to be derivable from related problem. The developed solution is compared with the existing solution. Moreover, the solution obtained is verified by using a computing software Excel Solver.
