Asmall manufacturing firm has decided to expand production capacity by adding four machines: (1) a punch press, (2) a grinder, (3) a lathe, and (4) a welding machine. there are only four possible locations: a, b, c, and d. the welding machine will not fit in location b. the material handling costs of locating each of the machines in each of the possible locations are expressed in terms of dollars per hour (where m represents an arbitrarily large cost):

abcd are locations and 1234 are machines

a b c d
1 94 13 62 71
2 62 19 84 96
3 75 88 18 80
4 11 m 81 21

a. what is the optimal assignment of machines to locations?
b. what is the cost associated with the optimal assignment from part a?

easy its decreasing

step-by-step explanation:

because its top point is at the to of the graph on the left side (atleast from the veiw i see it) now if that top point wast in the lower part of the graph it would be increasing hope this have a nice day

ur welcome : )

yes, i heard the "tea" with james charles and a few other beauty gurus. i believe charles is in the wrong and i believe tati the most. tati didn't lie about james charles but may have exaggerated because he never sexually assaulted anyone. jeffery star is a really good friend to all and out anyone that needs it, until you mess with one of his "sisters"! james will never rise over jeffery or tati, he's way to sensitive and dramatic to rise about them. i think all three of them will make up and be friends again because they always get over it.

i hope this with your
