These factories have not been able to keep up with demand for orders at Hardgrave’s four warehouses in Detroit, Houston, New York, and Los Angeles. As a result, the firm has decided to build a new factory to expand its productive capacity. The two sites being considered are Seattle, Washington, and Birmingham, Alabama. Both cities are attractive in terms of labour supply, municipal services, and ease of factory financing. Table 1 presents the production costs and monthly supplies at each of the three existing factories, monthly demands at each of the four warehouses, and estimated production costs at the two proposed factories. Transportation costs from each factory to each warehouse are summarized in Table 2. In addition to this information, Hardgrave estimates that the monthly fixed cost of operating the proposed facility in Seattle would be $400,000. The…arrow_forward
