given as follows. The monthly demand at each center is also given.
$\begin{array} { | c | c | c | }
\hline \text { DC } & \text { Coordinates } & \text { Demand } \
\hline \text { A } & ( 10,12 ) & 40 \
\text { B } & ( 25,30 ) & 25 \
\text { C } & ( 8,15 ) & 30 \
\text { D } & ( 11,20 ) & 10 \
\text { E } & ( 25,6 ) & 20 \
\hline
\end{array}$

A) less than or equal to 1500
B) more than 1500 but less than or equal to 1600
C) more than 1600 but less than or equal to 1700
D) more than 1700

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The center of gravity coordinates are calculated as (weighted average of x-coordinates, weighted average of y-coordinates) = (15.3, 16.7). The load-distance score using rectilinear distance is calculated by summing the product of demand and distance for each distribution center, resulting in a score between 1600 and 1700.
