    As total amount at location x is less than y hence location x is favorable

    Explanation:

    Given data;

    for location X

    Fixed costs is $5,000,000 per year

    variable cost is $0.30/unit

    for location Y

    Fixed costs is $4,600,000 per year

    variable cost is $0.40/unit

    Annual demand is 10 million units

    total cost for total units at location x = 5,000,000 + 0.30 * 10,000,000

    total cost = $8,000,000

    total cost for total units at location y = 4,600,000 + 0.30 * 10,000,000

    total cost = $7,600,000

    As total amount at location x is less than y hence location x is favorable
