Two locations are available for a new facility being planned. The facility will be an assembly plant, which will receive parts shipped to it from manufacturing locations around the country. Location A can provide cheaper labor, but because of its rural location, will require a larger budget for shipping of components to the facility. Location B, an urban site convenient to highways and rail lines, can function with a 30% smaller budget for shipping of the same quantities of components but will spend 15% more for the same labor, because of higher salaries in the area. At either location, the company’s budget will permit spending a total of $30 million for labor and shipping. If it has been determined that the budget for labor costs at location A will be twice the amount budgeted for shipping costs at that location, find the shipping costs and labor costs for location B.

Official Explanation

Labor and shipping costs at location A total $30 million, and labor costs are twice shipping costs, so labor is $20 million, and shipping $10 million. At location B, labor is 15% higher, so $20 million + 0.15 × $20 million = $23 million, and the remaining $7 million is shipping costs.
