- A manager at Strateline Manufacturing must choose between two shipping alternatives: two-day freight and five-day freight. Using five-day freight would cost $180 less than using two-day freight. The primary consideration is holding cost, which is $8 per unit a year. 2,300 items are to be shipped. Which alternative would you recommend?Professor Gaffney needs to ship 800 pounds of laboratory equipment to a colleague across country. Due to limited departmental funds, Dr. Gaffney would like to minimize total shipment costs. Currently, the freight classification is 77.5. However, a local equipment manufacturing company is willing to specially package the equipment in order to drop the freight classification to 55. Use the table below to calculate the break-even cost of using this service. Class <500 (lbs) 500 (lbs) 1,000 (lbs) 2,000 (lbs) 5,000 (lbs) 10,000 (lbs) ≥20,000 (lbs) 50 34.31 28.56 24.61 23.24 17.24 15.48 10.68 55 36.97 30.55 26.57 24.16 18.46 17.39 11.66 60 39.74 32.33 27.57 26.51 20.79 19.37 12.03 65 41.06 34.18 29.27 28.15 21.77 20.29 13.46 70 44.33 36.93 31.29 29.84 22.87 21.13 14.46 77.5 48.53 39.82 34.83 32.75 24.46 23.58 15.75 85 51.89 42.44 36.17 34.08 26.97 26.14 17.32 92.5 55.94 46.12 39.75 37.35 28.76 28.08 18.77 100 60.07 49.31 42.43 40.15 30.86 30.54 20.39 In…Sampson Industries is very concerned about the costof shipping products on a daily basis to its distributor.Sampson is considering consolidating daily shipmentsinto weekly or even monthly deliveries.
