Question:

A company would like to calculate a cost-to-cost trade-off analysis for the following scenario:
Cost to ship by rail = $0.05 per unit per kilometer shipped
Cost to ship by truck = $0.085 per unit per kilometer shipped
Number of units to be shipped = 150,000
Cost of delay due to slower shipping time if rail is used = $10,000
Provide a cost-to-cost trade-off calculation for the rail-versus-truck alternative.
