c. Which is a better weighting factor to consider: population or sales dollars?

A.

Sales dollars is a better weighting factor as it will have a lower correlation to the amount of product shipped to an area than the general population number.

B.

Population is a better weighting factor as it will have a lower correlation to the amount of product shipped to an area than the sales dollars.

C.

Population is a better weighting factor as it will have a higher correlation to the amount of product shipped to an area than the sales dollars.

D.

Sales dollars is a better weighting factor as it will have a higher correlation to the amount of product shipped to an area than the general population number.

Capital city (Pop. 450,000) 4- Springfield (Pop. 190,000) (2.0, 4.0) (4.0, 3.5) Shelbyville (Pop. 220,000) (5.0, 1.0) Robbie Roberts, owner of CupAMoe's Coffee, is trying to determine where to locate his newest distribution warehouse. Robbie would like to locate the warehouse to minimize transportation costs and provide the best overall delivery speed to his three markets. Consider the warehouse location decision facing CupAMoe's. Click the icon to view the the warehouse location. a. Suppose Robbie has learned that Capital City's population is expected to grow by just 5% over the next five years, while Springfield's population is expected to increase by 35,000 people over the same time period. Calculate the X and Y coordinates using this new information. The X coordinate is . (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) The Y* coordinate is . (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) b. Now suppose Robbie has also learned that Capital City generates $850,000 in sales per year, while Springfield and Shelbyville both generate only $400,000 in sales each. Using sales dollars as the weights, recalculate the X and Y coordinates. The X* coordinate is . (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) The Y* coordinate is . (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
