Question
Suppose a shipment of 25,000 lbs is originated from point I. An additional 15,000 lbs is to be combined with it at point J and both shipments are to be transported to point K. The transportation rate from point I to point J is $0.2/cwt. The transportation rate from point J to point K is $0.15/cwt. The transportation rate from point I to point K is $0.3/cwt. The stop-off charge is $20.
a) How much is the total transportation cost when transit privilege is not used? Please provide at least one step of calculation and the correct cost for full credit.
b) How much is the total transportation cost when transit privilege is used? (1 cwt = 100 lbs) Please provide at least one step of calculation and the correct cost for full credit.
Please answer A and B and Show the work.
Explanation / Answer
a)Particulars:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Amount
Transportation rate from point I to point J is $0.2/cwt:::::::::::::::::::$560,000
($0.2cwt=$22.4 pounds conversion;$22.4 * 25,000=$560,000)
Transportation rate from point J to point K is $0.15/cwt::::::::::::::::$672,000
($0.15 cwt==$16.8 pounds conversion::$16.8 * 40,000=$672,000)
(25,000+15,000=40,000)
_____________________________________________________________
Total :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::$1,232,000
______________________________________________________________
b)Particulars:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Amount
Transportation rate from point I to point K is $0.3/cwt:::::::::::::::::::$1,200,000
Pounds conversion:
1 cwt = 100 lbs
$0.3/cwt=?(apply cross multiplication)
$0.3*100/1=$30 * 40,000=
(25,000+15,000=40,000)
Stop-off charge is :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::$20
