A company needs to locate three departments (X, Y, and Z) in the three areas (I, II, and III) of a new facility. They want to minimize interdepartmental transportation costs, which are expected to be $.50 per load meter moved. An analyst has prepared the following flow and distance matrices:

Distances (meters)
From/To I II III
I - 10 20
II - 10
III -
Flows (loads per week)
From/To X Y Z
X - 0 80
Y 30 - 150
Z 100 130 -

In the fall, jay thompson decided to live in a university dormitory. he signed a dorm contract under which he was obligated to pay the room rent for the full college year. one clause stated that if he moved out during the year, he could sell his dorm contract to another student who would move into the dormitory as his replacement. the dorm cost was $5000 for the two semesters, which jay had already paid a month after he moved into the dorm, he decided he would prefer to live in an apartment. that week, after some searching for a replacement to fulfill his dorm contract, jay had two offers. one student offered to move in immediately and to pay jay $300 per month for the eight remaining months of the school year. a second student offered to move in the second semester and pay $2500 to jay. jay estimates his food cost per month is $500 if he lives in the dorm and $450 if he lives in an apartment with three other students. his share of the apartment rent and utilities will be $404 per month. assume each semester is 4.5 months long. disregard the small differences in the timing of the disbursements or receipts. what is the cost of the cheapest alternative?

Hilary works at klothes kloset. she quickly the customers, and her cash drawer is always correct at the end of her shift. however, she never tries to "upsell" the customers (for example, by asking if they would like to purchase earrings to go with the shirt they chose or by suggesting a purse that matches the shoes they are buying). give hilary some constructive feedback on her performance.
