Can row/column penalty be zero in Vogel's Approximation Method?

If I have row with the following digits 10, 5, 12, 16, 5, 7

Will the row penalty be

5-5=0

or

7-5=2

In most books they say the you use the next lowest value, so is it 2 or 0. Some books do it the 5-5 way others 7-5 way. So is there an agreed consensus on the method to be used.

I am aware that in a dummy column that the penalty will be zero.

Answer #1

write the difference of minimum cost and next to minimum cost against each row in the penalty column

this difference is known as the penalty.

so the penalty, in this case, will be 7-5= 2
