- A municipal solid-waste site for a city must be located at Site A or Site B. After sorting, some of the solid refuse will be transported to an electric power plant where it will be used as fuel. Data for the hauling of refuse from each site to the power plant are shown in the following table: Site A Site B Average hauling distance 4.8 km 6.4 km Annual rental fee $40,000 for solid-waste $25,000 site Hauling cost $2/m²-km $2/m²-km If the power plant will pay $8.00 per cubic meter of sorted solid waste delivered to the plant, where should the solid-waste site be located?
