A company needs to locate three departments (X, Y, and Z) in the three areas (I, II, and III) of a new facility. They want to minimize interdepartmental transportation costs, which are expected to be $.50 per load per meter moved. An analyst has prepared the following distances and flow matrices:

Distances (meters) From/To I II III I - 10 20 II - 10 III - Flows (loads per week) From/To X Y Z X - 60 90 Y 40 - 160 Z 110 140 - If departments X, Y, and Z were to be located in areas I, II, and III, respectively, what would be the total distance (in meters) loads would be moved each week?(A) 4,000(B) 4,500(C) 7,000(D) 8,000(E) 9,000

Net income and owner's equity for four businesses four different proprietorships, jupiter, mars, saturn, and venus, show the same balance sheet data at the beginning and end of a year. these data, exclusive of the amount of owner's equity, are summarized as follows: total assets total liabilities beginning of the year $550,000 $215,000 end of the year 844,000 320,000 on the basis of the preceding data and the following additional information for the year, determine the net income (or loss) of each company for the year.
