Problem1.
The new Health care facility is targeted to serve seven census tracts in Delhi
The table given below shows the coordinates for the centre of each census tract, along with
the projected populations, measured in thousands Customers will travel from the seven
census tract centres to the new facility when they need health care Two locations being
considered for the new facility are at 5 5 4 5 and 7 2 which are the centres of census
tracts C and F Details of seven census tract centres, coordinate distances along with the
population for each centre are given below Find the target area’s centre of gravity for the
Health care medical facility
Problem2.
Todd’s Direct, a major TV sales chain headquartered in New Orleans, is about to open its first outlet in
Mobile, Alabama, and wants to select a site that will place the new outlet in the center of Mobile’s
population base. Todd examines the seven census tracts in Mobile, plots the coordinates of the center of
each from a map, and looks up the population base in each to use as a weighting. The information
gathered
appears in the following table. Todd’s Direct, a major TV sales chain headquartered in New Orleans, is

Fayetteville, Arkansas, to produce high-quality rifle sights. He has assembled the following fixed-cost
and variable-cost data:

a) Graph the total cost lines.

b) Over what range of annual volume is each facility going to have a competitive advantage?

c) What is the volume at the intersection of the Edwardsville and Fayetteville cost lines?
