Respuesta :

The weekly total material handling cost of the layout is $74400

Explanation:

The following is used in order to calculated the given problem

Distance between the work areas is as follows:

AB=4

AC=9

AD=7

BC=7

BD=9

CD=9

Cost = 4 times 800 + 9 times   700 + 7 times   500 + 7 times   400 + 9 times   200 + 9 times   800 = 24800

As it costs $3 to move one work piece one foot, the total weekly cost = [tex]24800 \times 3[/tex] = $74400

Thus, the weekly total material handling cost of the layout is $74400
