C. There is no difference between Supplier A and Supplier B.

Answer 1

After calculating the weighted scores for both suppliers, Supplier A has a higher score of 170, compared to Supplier B's 152, indicating that the retail company should choose Supplier A.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate which supplier a retail company should choose, based on product quality, service quality, and employee attitude, we'll calculate a weighted score for each supplier.

For Supplier A, the scores are 8 (product quality), 7 (service quality), and 6 (employee attitude) with weights of 9, 8, and 7 respectively. For Supplier B, the scores are 5 (product quality), 9 (service quality), and 5 (employee attitude) with the same weights.

The total weighted score for each supplier is calculated by multiplying each attribute score by its corresponding weight and then summing them up:

Supplier A: (8*9) + (7*8) + (6*7) = 72 + 56 + 42 = 170

Supplier B: (5*9) + (9*8) + (5*7) = 45 + 72 + 35 = 152

Comparing the total scores, Supplier A has a higher weighted score of 170 compared to Supplier B's score of 152, thus the retail company should choose Supplier A.
