Evaluating location alternatives by comparing their composite (weighted-average) scores involves

A) factor-rating analysis.
B) cost-volume analysis.
C) transportation model analysis.
D) linear regression analysis.
E) crossover analysis.

Evaluating location alternatives by comparing their composite (weighted-average) scores involves factor-rating analysis. This method allows for the consideration of numerous factors and assigns weights to each according to their importance. By multiplying the score of each factor by its weight and adding the results, a composite score is obtained, allowing for easy comparison and evaluation of location alternatives.
