A beam \( AB \) is loaded as shown in the figure.

**Figure Description:**

The diagram depicts a beam \( AB \) subjected to various loads. The beam is supported at two points: \( A \) on the left with a pin support and \( B \) on the right with a roller support.

- **Distributed Load:** 
  - A uniform distributed load of 300 lb/ft spans along the top of the beam from point \( A \) to a point before \( B \).
  
- **Point Load:**
  - A 300 lb point load acts downward at point \( D \), which is 6 feet from \( A \) and 2 feet from \( C \).

- **Dimensions:**
  - The beam spans a total of 8 feet.
  - \( A \) to \( D \) is 4 feet.
  - \( D \) to \( C \) is 2 feet.
  - \( C \) to \( B \) is 2 feet.

**Problem Statement:**

Determine the magnitude and location of the maximum absolute value of the bending moment.
