Explanation / Answer

11) if treated separately:

each customer has 600lbs, cost is $2 per 100 lbs, total shipment = 600*3 = 1800lbs

total cost = 1800*2/100 = $36

it combined, total shipment = 1800lbs which is greater than 1000lbs

there will be three stops for three customers, hence cost per stop = 5*3 = $15

total cost = 1800*1/100 + 15 = 18+15 = $33

hence combining is resulting in cheaper by$3

option B, combining shipments is cheaper by $3

12) option C

cross docking is unloading shipments from incoming and then loading them to outbound trucks almost instantly with little or no storage in between. this is generally done to combine or recombine shipments accroding to customers or logistics ease, etc.
