Question

DM Office Products (DMOP) is a wholesale supplier of office products with one facility in Pennsylvania. They have decided to build a new distribution warehouse in the state of New York to help serve the growing demand in that market. They have four major customers located in Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany, and New York City. Though New York City is the largest market, it also has the greatest competition and DMOP is not a major player there. When DMOP ships an order to a customer they use their own small fleet of two trucks to deliver, so the cost of delivery is essentially the same for a full or partially full truck. The expected number of annual shipments to each city and their coordinates on an x, y grid is shown in the following table.

CITY	x-COORDINATES	y-COORDINATES	NUMBER OF SHIPMENTS
Buffalo	340	865	84
Syracuse	1,435	915	88
Albany	2,315	645	128
New York	2,290	40	68

Use the centroid method to recommend a location for the new warehouse for DMOP. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)
