Answer:

e. Reject both locations.

Explanation:

Multiple Choice: <em>a. Build a plant in both cities,  b. Be indifferent between these locations, c. Choose Boston, d. Choose Akron, e. Reject both locations. </em>

<em />

Total composite score for a location = Sum of (weights*scores)

Akron:

Total composite score = [(0.50 x 60) + (0.40 x 80) + (0.10 x 70)]

Total composite score = 69

Boston:

Total composite score = [(0.50 x 70) + (0.40 x 50) + (0.10 x 90)]

Total composite score = 64

Conclusion: Since the minimum acceptable composite score is 75 and the total composite score of both the locations i.e. Akron and Boston is below 75, the manager should reject both locations.
