Where should you locate a new factory?

Industrial Location Assignment Directions: Read Chapter 12 and answer the following questions. Type or write clearly on a separate sheet of paper.

1. List THREE variable costs that decision makers take into account when calculating efforts to maximize advantages.

2. What does friction of distance refer to? How is the concept of distance decay related to this?

3. According to Alfred Weber’s Least Cost Theory, what accounts for the location of manufacturing plants?

4. Now put Weber's theory to work in deciding where to locate a new brewery. Here's the scenario:

Material (per case) Rail Transport Cost Road Transport Cost Hops & Grain $.10/mile $.11/mile Spring Water $.05/mile $.03/mile Bottled Beer $.25/mile $.27/mile

According to Weber, where will you locate the new brewery and why?

5. Now put Weber's theory to work in deciding where to locate a new steel factory for a growing town. Here's the scenario:

Material (per case) Rail Transport Cost Road Transport Cost Iron Ore $.40/mile $.44/mile Coal $.35/mile $.35/mile Steel $.30/mile $.33/mile According to Weber, where will you locate the new steel factory and why?

6. These scenarios only refer only to transportation costs. They do not adequately account for variations over time. For example, when relative labor costs decline, or when land rent goes down, an industry can sustain an increase in transportation costs – this is referred to as the substitution principle. Discuss TWO other variables not mentioned by Weber that would affect the location of a factory.
