[Center of Gravity]

PT LSCM has two production plants supplying its warehouse, which will then supply three distribution
centers or markets. The following figure shows the mapping with 1 coordinate unit equals to 10 miles:

The table below shows the detail of the products, coordinate points, volumes, and transportation
rates:

Total Volume Moved (Vi) in Transportation Rate (Ri) in

Point (i) Product Xi Yi
CWT $/CWT/Miles
P1 A 2 8 1000 $ 0,04
P2 B 7 3 1500 $ 0,04
M1 A and B 3 5 1300 $ 0,08
M2 A and B 6 3 500 $ 0,08
M3 A and B 8 7 700 $ 0,08

Find:

a. The initial coordinate for the location of the warehouse

b. The total cost incurred in using a warehouse in the initial coordinate
c. The revised coordinate for the location of the warehouse
d. The optimal total cost
