Cаse Descriptiоn 3: A lаrge mаnufacturing cоmpany is planning tо build a new plant in a Midwestern state.  The company’s IE group is considering communities A, B, and C for the new plant.  Actual site selection will be done at a later date after the community selection is complete.  The IE group selected the criteria shown in the following table:   Communities Criteria A B C Labor Supply Transportation Nearness to Raw Materials Cost of land/acre ($1000’s) Housing Community Attitude 2 8 3 3 9 10 8 7 10 4 7 8 9 9 5 5 7 5   Each of the communities has been assigned a rating for each criterion, except for the cost of the land, using a scale of 1 to 10, where a larger number indicates higher preference.  Land cost was measured in thousands of dollars per acre.   Answer questions 19 through 20 using the information provided in Case Description 3.
