1. Use Excel to do your work and provide a graph of the results as necessary. The Davis national drugstore chain prefers to operate one outlet in a town that has four major market segments. The number of potential customers in each segment and the location coordinates are shown below:

Market Segment	Location Coordinates		Number of Customers
	x	y
1	2	18	2000
2	15	17	600
3	2	2	1500
4	14	2	3400

Which would be the best location by the center-of-gravity method? Graph your location coordinates with the center of gravity.

2. A university currently has a recycling program for paper waste. The fixed cost of running this program is $15,000 per year. The variable cost for picking up and disposing of each ton of recyclable paper is $40. If the work is outsourced to a recycling company, the cost would be $65 per ton.

1. If the forecasted demand is 750 tons, what should the university do?

2. Find the break-even point by referring to equations in text.
