Question

A multinational corporation is planning to establish new offices in five cities: A, B, C, D, and E, with a total budget of 150 million USD allocated for this expansion. To determine the fund allocation for each city, a composite score is calculated based on three key factors: Market Potential, Infrastructure, and Cost of Living. These factors are weighted at 40%, 35%, and 25%, respectively. City A has the highest market potential among the cities but scores lowest in infrastructure quality. City B ranks highest in infrastructure quality but has the highest cost of living. City C, despite having the lowest market potential, offers the lowest cost of living among the cities under consideration.
The composite score for each city is computed as a weighted average of its ratings on these factors, where ratings range from 1 to 10. The fund allocation for each city will be directly proportional to its composite score, reflecting its overall attractiveness for establishing new offices based on market potential, infrastructure quality, and cost of living considerations.
