A company ships a particular product to a market located 1000 miles from the plant at a cost of $4 per mile. Normally it ships 500 units at a time. If the company can ship the units unassembled, it can ship 800 units in a truck. What is the line-haul cost per unit now?
In some industries, is the only strategy that can be followed. Farmers, for instance, must produce in the growing season. The post office must process mail over the Christmas rush and in slack seasons. Restaurants have to serve meals when the customers want them. These industries cannot stockpile or inventory their products or services and must be capable of meeting demands as it occurs.
A company ships barbecues fully assembled. The average line-haul cost per shipment is $12.50 per mile, and the truck carries 100 assembled barbecues. The company decides to ship the barbecues unassembled and figures it can ship barbecues in a truck. Calculate the line-haul cost per barbecue assembled and unassembled. If the average trip is 300 miles, calculate the saving per barbecue?
