S An initial solution has been given to the following workcenter layout problem. Each location is 180 feet long and 90 feet wide as shown in the following figure. Use the centers of departments for distances and measure distance rectilinearly. For example, the distance between A and B in the initial layout is 180 feet and the distance between A and D is 450 feet. DEPARTMENT 90' A B C D 180 A DEPARTMENT B C HT 0 20 35 0 20 0 A 180' B 180 C D D 65 15 25 0 90' 90' Given the flows described and a cost of $4 per unit per foot, compute the total cost for the layout.
