Answer:
Load-distance method.
Explanation:
Load-distance method is a technique of making facility location decisions by an organization. In this method, different facility locations are assigned a load-stance value (it is a measure of the weight of the load to be transported and the distance) and the different facilities are evaluated on the basis of this value. The location with the minimum load-distance will have minimum transportation cost; so, this location will be preferred over the other locations.
Answer:
$204,080
Explanation:
The computation of operating cost is shown below:-
operating cost if occupy 55%
Cost on (800 × 90%)
= 720 units is $220,040
Cost on (800 × 80%)
= 640 Units is $215,480
Variable cost per unit = Changes in total cost ÷ High activity-Low activity
= ($220,040 - $$215,480) ÷ (720 - 640)
= 4,560 ÷ 80
= 57 per unit
Fixed cost = Total cost - Variable cost
= $220,040 - (720 × 57)
= $179,000
Cost equation:
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost per unit
Y = $179,000 + 57X
Y = $1790,00 + (57 × 440)
Y = $204,080
I think option 2
because use have the extra 100 units and you need 600
