12. An organization is considering three different locations for a new manufacturing facility. Three attributes: X (yearly transportation costs), Y (quality of workers), and Z (amenability of local and state governments) were considered in the development of a scaled, additive, multi-attribute value function. X is measured in millions of dollars, Y and Z are constructed attributes, each with a worst value of 1 and a best value of 5 . The scaling constants for the three attributes are given by: wX=.4,wy=.5, and wZ=.1. Points on the individual attribute value functions are given by: The three locations have been evaluated on these attributes as follows (e.g., Location 1 has values of $7 million on X, 4 on Y, and 2 on Z ). Compute a multi-attribute value function score for each of the three locations, and then rank the three locations (first, second, and third) based on these scores. Make sure that you show your work
