a$)$ For the existing layout, the cumulative "load $$ distance" or "movement cost" $=,$ feet $($enter your response as a whole number$).$

Based on the flows shown in the matrix, one should expect that the centers A and will be next to each other as they have the highest number of moves between each other.
