Question

10. Determine which location has the highest composite score: Factor Weight East #1 East #2 West Initial cost 8 100 150 140 10 40 40 30 6 20 25 18 Traffic Maintenance Dock space Neighborhood 6 10 12 25 12 4 00 15

Answer 1

Answer:-

Given: We are given factors, weights, and factor rating scores for three locations. Scores range from 1 – 100 (best).

		Location Score
Factor	Wt.	East #1	East #2	West
Initial Cost	8	100	150	140
Traffic	10	40	40	30
Maintenance	6	20	25	18
Dock space	6	25	10	12
Neighborhood	4	12	8	15

Multiply the factor weight by the score for each factor and sum the results for each location alternative.

		Weight x Score
Factor	Wt.	East #1	East #2	West
Initial Cost	8	8(100) = 800	8(150) = 1200	8(140) =1120
Traffic	10	10(40) = 400	10(40) = 400	10(30) = 300
Maintenance	6	6(20) = 120	6(25) = 150	6(18) = 108
Dock space	6	6(25) = 150	6(10) = 60	6(12) = 72
Neighborhood	4	4(12) = 48	4(8) = 32	4(15) = 60
		1518	1842	1660

Conclusion: Based on composite score, Location East #2 seems to be the best.
