An e-commerce company has decided to enter the Turkish market. This company intends to establish its warehouse in an optimized location in the country where it could be able to serve the important cities of Turkey with minimum cost. Based on given geographic and statistical information about Turkish main cities locate the most appropriate position for this facility. This companies' transportation fleet has an identical model type of truck that consumes 40 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers. Every 100,000-population city demands 20 Metric tons of materials per year which is needed to be satisfied by the company. Each truck of this fleet is capable of handling 20 metric tons of load. Therefore, for instance, in the case of Ankara with a population of 4,587,558, approximately 46 loaded trucks are needed to move the distance between the warehouse location and Ankara. In distance calculations considering the geographic location of Turkey, you may assume that every 0.1- degree change in latitude and longitude is equal to 18.5 Km and 14.7 respectively. Therefore, a 0.1- degree change in diagonal direction would be 16.86 Km. 1 2 3 st 4 5 01 6 7 8 9 10 City Name Istanbul Ankara İzmir Bursa Adana Gaziantep Konya Antalya Kayseri Mersin Latitude 41 39.92 38.26 40.2 37 37.05 37.85 36.9 38.7 36.8 Longitude 29 32.85 27.16 29.05 35.3 37.4 32.5 30.7 35.5 34.6 Population 14025646 4587558 2847691 1854285 1563545 1495050 1003373 955573 911984 842230 Fuel Price (Per/Litre) 22.29 22.39 22.38 22.34 22.47 22.53 22.53 22.52 22.5 22.45 Please specify the final location of the warehouse, and also calculate the total transportation cost.
