Question
The Electric Sheep Division of Block C Enterprises has decided to investigate the potential rearrangement of one of its facilities. The first step is to evaluate the current arrangement. The tables below show the distance between the 7 departments and the number of trips necessary in a typical month. Assume that the number of reverse trips is the same (i.e., the matrices are symmetric). The average cost per trip-foot is $0.16. Calculate the TOTAL monthly costs, in dollars, of moving loads in both direction in the facility.

Explanation / Answer
Total month cost = 0.16*SUM of (The total distance for each department)
The total distance for each department will be = Distance between department*Number of trips
Example: 1to2 = 120*300 = 36000
1 to 3 = 120*50 = 6000. Similarly can be done for all
Total = 484,500 feet
Total cost =0.16*484500 = 77,520 dollar
