(A) Use the appropriate location procedure to determine the optimal coordinates of a new machine based on the following assumptions. (Please show the details of your work; Not just the final answer):Traffic pattern: RectilinearObjective: Minimizing costCoordinates of the existing machines (5,2),(4,8),(10,12),(3,20),(7,7)Total weight of material to be moved between the new machine and the existing ones: 11000,27500,22000,3000 and 17000 pounds per week, respectively.(B) Calculate cost in distance-weight units.Considering about the reactiliner method it's+17000=80500Finding new machine location in weighted average method :X cordinate :X =(11000 x 5)+(27500 x4)+(22000 x 10)210000.01.147000.71lonrnna learn.bcit.caobjective is minimizing cost.MachineWeights in poundscordinates (X, Y)111000(5,2)227500(4,8)322000(10,12)43000(3,20)517000(7,7)Total weight =11000+27500+22000+3000+17000=80500Finding new machine location in weighted average method :X cordinate :X ={(11000 x 5)+(27500\times 4)+(22000 x 10)+(3000 x 3)+(17000 x 7)}/80500=(55000+110000+220000+9000+119000)/80500=6.37Y cordinate :Y ={(11000 x 2)+(27500 x8)+(22000 x 12)+(3000 x 20)+(17000 x 7)3/80500=(22000+220000+264000+60000+119000)/80500=8.51cost of distance weightMachine 01 distance -(6.37-5)+(8.51-2)=7.88Machine 02 distance -(6.37-4)+(8.51-8)=2.88Machine 03 distance -(6.37-10)+(8.51-12)=7.12Machine 04 distance -(6.37-3)+(8.51-20)=14.86Machine 05 distance -(6.37-7)+(8.51-7)=2.14MAcine 01= DIstance x weight =7.88 X 11000=86680MAcine 02=2.88*27500=79200Machine 03 distance -(6.37-10)+(8.51-12)=7.12Machine 04 distance -(6.37-3)+(8.51-20)=14.86Machine 05 distance -(6.37-7)+(8.51-7)=2.14MAcine 01= DIstance x weight =7.88 X 11000=86680MAcine 02=2.88 X 27500=79200MAcine 03=7.12 X 22000=156640MAcine 04=14.86 X 3000=44580MAcine 05=2.14 X 17000=36380Total cost =403480
