Explanation / Answer

SOL)

The total weighted score for a location is calculated as the sum of the product of the factor score and their respective weights for. So using this formula the total weighted score for all locations are:

For Maitland =(0.30x60)+(0.25x40)+(0.20x50)+(0.15x50)+(0.10x80)

= 18 + 10 + 10 + 7.5 + 8

= 53.5

For Baptist Church = (0.30x70)+(0.25x80)+(0.20x80)+(0.15x70)+(0.10x20)

= 21 + 20+ 16 + 10.5 + 2

= 69.5

For Northside mall = (0.30x80)+(0.25x30)+(0.20x60)+(0.15x40)+(0.10x90)

= 24 + 7.5 + 12 + 6 + 9

= 58.5

The best location in Buffalo for subway to open the new restaurant is Baptist Church as it has the highest total weighted score of 69.5.
