NEED HELP WITH PART E. THANK YOU

 

A freight company has four terminals. The volume of business in truckloads for each terminal is shown. The owner has purchased 

12

 new trucks to be allocated to the four terminals. Determine how many trucks each terminal should get based on volume of business.

Terminal A B C D Total
Volume (in truckloads)
69
82
35
44
230
 
Part 1 of 5
 
 

(a) Find the standard divisor. Round the answer to one decimal place, if necessary.

The standard divisor is 
19.2
.
 
Part 2 of 5
 
 

(b) Find the standard quota for each terminal. Round each answer to three decimal places, if necessary.

The standard quota for Terminal A is 
3.594
, Terminal B is 
4.271
, Terminal C is 
1.823
, and Terminal D is 
2.292
.
 
Part 3 of 5
 
 

(c) Find the upper and lower quotas for each terminal.

The lower quota for Terminal A is 
3
, Terminal B is 
4
, Terminal C is 
1
, and Terminal D is 
2
.

The upper quota for Terminal A is 
4
, Terminal B is 
5
, Terminal C is 
2
, and Terminal D is 
3
.
 
Part 4 of 5
 
 

(d) Assign trucks using Jefferson's method. Use a modified divisor in your calculation that is calculated in increments of 

0.5

 and is the highest value possible, if necessary.

Jefferson's method will assign 
4
 new truck(s) to Terminal A, 
4
 to Terminal B, 
2
 to Terminal C, and 
2
 to Terminal D.
