Design a spreadsheet to compute the total rectilinear distance from a set of up to10 existing locations to any other location. Assume that existing locations areplaced in Columns A and B and the new location in cells D1 and E1. Initializecolumn A with the value of cell D1 and column B with the value of cell E1, so thatthe total distance will be computed correctly when there are fewer than10 locations.a. Suppose that existing facilities are located at (0, 0), (5, 15), (110, 120), (35, 25),(80, 10), (75, 20), (8, 38), (50, 65), (22, 95), and (44, 70), and the new facility is tobe located at (50, 50). Determine the total rectilinear distance of the new facilityto the existing facilities.b. Suppose the new facility in part (a) can be located only at x =0, 5, 10, . . . , 100and y = 0, 10, 20, . . . , 100. By systematically varying the x and y coordinates,find the optimal location of the new facility

- Grocers Inc. is considering offering a purified water service through a contract company that would locate a machine on the inside of the market store. There are two contract companies Grocers Inc. is considering, ClearWater and PureVida. ClearWater would charge an annual lease fee of $800 for set-up of the machine and for this machine, there is a utility cost of $0.10 for every gallon of water dispensed and ClearWater charges $0.05 for maintenance. For PureVida, the annual lease fee is $700, the utility cost is $0.12 for every gallon and PureVida charges $0.06 for maintenance.

Their options are: (1) No preventive maintenance at all and repair vehicle components when they fail; (2) Take oil samples at regular intervals and perform whatever preventive maintenance is indicated by the oil analysis; (3) Perform an oil change on a regular basis on each vehicle and perform repairs when needed; (4) perform oil changes at regular intervals, take oil samples regularly, and perform maintenance repairs as indicated by the sample analysis. Option #1 costs nothing to implement and results in two possible outcomes: There is a .10 probability that a defective component will occur, requiring emergency maintenance at a cost of $1,200, or there is a chance that no defects will occur and no maintenance will be…arrow_forward
