Main Street Cinema invited three firms to bid on its daily janitorial services contract, and then scored those tenders based on quality, reliability/risk, and price (using a 100-point scale in each case). The scores are listed here:

a. If Main Street Cinema were to use lowest price to award the contract, who would receive it?

b. If Main Street Cinema were to use linear averaging to then choose a supplier for its janitorial services contract, who would it choose if it felt that quality, reliability/risk, and price were all equally important aspects of the contract?

c. Assume that quality and reliability/risk are equally important to Main Street Cinema. However, the issue of price is twice as important to Main Street Cinema than either quality or reliability/risk. What score would Dawson Commercial Cleaning Services earn under this weighting scheme?

d. Assuming the weighting scheme described in part

c, which janitorial service sup- plier does linear averaging suggest?
