2. A municipal solid-waste site for a city must be located at Site A or Site B. After sorting, some of the solid wastes will be transported to an electric power plant where it will be used as fuel. Data for the hauling of solid wastes from each site to the power plant are shown in Table below SITE A Average hauling distance Yearly rental fee for solid - P5,000 waste site SITE B 3 kilometers P100,000 4 kilometers Hauling Cost P1.50 per m - km P1.50 per m - km If the power plant will pay P8.00 per msof sorted solid waste delivered to the plant, where should the solid-waste site be located? Use the city's viewpoint and assume that 200,000 m3 of wastes will be hauled to the plant for one year only. What site must be selected? Show your computation and defend your answer. (20 points)
