Question

The Ministry of Trade and Industry has approached you to advice on the location of a pineapple processing factory in the Otia District under the 1D1F programme. Whereas some members of the ministry’s project committee want all pineapple-growing areas of the district to be considered fairly for the siting of the factory, others want the choice to be restricted to only the three major towns in the vicinity, namely, Nyamebekyere, Bodumase and Dedeiman.

a) Given the information below, compute and graph the centre of gravity (in relation to the three major towns in the district) to enable those arguing for a fair district-wide consideration to visualize where the optimal location would be.

Town	Coordinates (km)	Pineapple Production (Tonnes)
X	Y
Nyamebekyere	95	180	207
Bodumase	240	120	94
Dedeiman	345	370	166
