Consider the results shown in Table 7.1

(a) Summarize the fixed cost, commodity value, demand, and transportation cost conditions that will tend to drive the solution toward having only a single facility.

(b) Identify at least one type of facility for which it would likely be optimal to locate only a single facility to serve the entire country.

(c) Identify at least one type of facility for which it would be optimal to have a very large number of facilities—almost one per major city.
