    C) 91.70

    Explanation:

    Location Factor Weight Peoria Kalamazoo Dayton

    Construction Costs 0.20 57 82 100

    Proximity to Major Highway 0.20 100 87 81

    Population in Area 0.25 82 93 100

    Taxes/Incentives 0.20 95 100 85

    Local Competitors 0.15 100 75 90

    the total weighted factor score for Dayton is:

    Construction Costs 0.20 x 100 = 20

    Proximity to Major Highway 0.20 x 81 = 16.2

    Population in Area 0.25 x 100 = 25

    Taxes/Incentives 0.20 x 85 = 17

    Local Competitors 0.15 x 90 = 13.5

    total 91.7

    To calculate the weighted factor score we just have to multiply the factor by its weight and add up all the individual scores.
