A clothing manufacturer produces clothing in five locations in
the United States. In a move to vertical integration, the company
is planning a new fabric production plant that will supply fabric
to all five clothing plants. The locations of the clothing plants
are demonstrated by the coordinate system shown below (also
provided in the spreadsheet template). Location X Y A 6 3 B 5 6 C 5
5 D 8 1 E 7 3 Shipments of fabric to each plant vary per week, as
follows: Plant A, 200 units Plant B, 400 units Plant C, 300 units
Plant D, 300 units Plant E, 200 units What is the optimal location
for the fabric plant that minimizes the shipping distance,
according to the center of gravity method?
