Yancey Basins Inc. manufactures kitchen sink and faucet combo units. The company has provided forecasts of its demand for each of 4 regional markets (East, South, Midwest, West) in the attached Excel file. Managers at Yancey Basins have selected four potential sites – Pittsburgh, Charlotte, Denver, and Los Angeles. Facilities can have a capacity of 200,000 or 400,000 units. The annual fixed costs at the four locations along with the per unit production and transportation costs associated with shipping an item from each potential site to each potential market are shown in the tables provided in the attached Excel file. Assume that Yancey Basins will open at most 1 facility of either type at each potential site. I’ve provided the excel document that should be utilized.
