2. Factors in choosing location are quantifiable and non-quantifiable. If we choose the wrong location
there will be a low productivity

The cost you should consider when choosing a location is total cost, operating cost, wages cost, rental

Infinite set approach: already found the best decision but still want to find some nearby

Feasible set approach: have many decisions but do not know which one is the best to choose
