1. Rainbow Retailers should use the factor rating method to determine the location with the
highest weighted score. Here are the steps:
• For each factor and each location, compute a score by multiplying the factor rating
score and the weight assigned to the factor.
• Compute a total score for each location by summing up the scores calculated in the
previous step.
• Select the location that has the maximum total score.
The necessary calculations required for the steps are shown below.

Brazil has the highest total score of 7.3 among the three locations, so Maddie should prefer
Brazil for the new facility.
b. If the political and legal issues factor is revised to 1 from 4, the weight reduces from 4
0.1 = 0.4 to 1 0.1 = 0.1. Overall, the total weighted score for Brazil will reduce to 7.0.
Therefore, Maddie can choose either Brazil or Chile for the new facility as both have the
same weighted score of 7.0.
3. a. Dr. Asli Barak can use the factor rating method to determine the location for their new
hospital with the highest weighted score. The necessary calculations required for the steps are
