Answer: The minimum score acceptable is 75, Akron has a score of 69 while Boston has a score of 64. The Manager should not consider Boston and Akron, they both have a score below the acceptable score of 75

Explanation:

Score = 0.5 x Raw material + 0.40 x Transport + 0.10 x Labor cost

Akron = 0.5 x (60) + 0.40 x (80) + 0.10 x (70)

Akron = 30 + 32 + 7 = 69

Boston = 0.5 x (70) + 0.4 x (50) + 0.10 x (90)

Boston = 35 + 20 + 9 = 64.

The minimum score acceptable is 75, Akron has a score of 69 while Boston has a score of 64. The Manager should not consider Boston and Akron, they both have a score below the acceptable score of 75
