The Ministry of Home affairs is considering 3 alternative locations for setting up new plant for prefabricated sheet (1mx3m) for distributing as relief material as a part of its rehabilitation programme, it is in the process Of preparing action plan for managing Disaster in NCR. Experts of Steering commitee have suggested the locations. A study has been carried out it was accertained that Once locations nemely Noida, Gurogaon and faridabad  will have fixed costs of Rs 50,00.000 R$ 60,00,000 and Rs 4000,000 respetively and the variable costs per unit are Rs 450/- Rs 425 an R 400 / respectively . The project will be financed by bond bearing 100 interest rate. it has been farther Suggested that an annual output of 1000 Net will be manfactured. Assuming that you are one of the members of expert Committee which location you will recommend for setting new plant.
