Question text

An army division has three troop encampments in the desert, and the division leaders want to determine the best location for a supply depot to serve the camps. The $($x$,$ y$)$ coordinates for camps A is $(430,160)$ and the daily amount of needed supplies in camp A is $170.$ The $($x$,$ y$)$ coordinates for camps B is $(270,250)$ and the daily amount of needed supplies in camp B is $190.$ The $($x$,$ y$)$ coordinates for camps C is $(340,120)$ and the daily amount of needed supplies in camp C is $220.$ The division commanders are limited to three possible sites for the supply depot because of airfield locations and enemy troop concentrations. The coordinates of these three potential sites are site $1(280,200),$ site $2(480,280),$ and site $3(300,260).$ Using the Load$-$distance technique in Microsoft Excel, select the correct answer from the following option.

Select one:

a$.$

The transportation cost representative for site $2$ is $29,861\mathrm{.}71$ more than site $3.$

b$.$

None of the choices

c$.$

The transportation cost representative for site $1$ is $7,843\mathrm{.}65$ less than site $3.$

d$.$

The transportation cost representative for site $1$ is $12,512\mathrm{.}98$ less than site $3.$
