Beagle Clothiers uses a weighted score for the evaluation and selection of its suppliers of trendy fashion garments.

Each supplier is rated on a 10-point scale (10 = highest) for four different criteria: price, quality, delivery, and flexibility (to accommodate changes in quantity and timing). Because of the volatility of the business in which Beagle operates, flexibility is given twice the weight of each of the other three criteria, which arc equally weighted. The table shows the scores for three potential suppliers for the four performance criteria. Based on the highest weighted score, which supplier should beselected?
