Question: # 1 . No freight is given. Assume freight for 2 Day is X and freight for 5 day is X -

#1. No freight is given. Assume freight for 2 Day is "X" and freight for 5 day is "X-$135". You need to determine what is the incremental holding cost of waiting 3 extra days to bill the customer. Compare the cost to the $ 135 savings. If the cost is more than the savings, ship faster method. If the cost is less than the savings, ship the slower method.
# 2. Evaluate 1 day (overnight),3 day, and 6 day shipping alternatives and determine which is the best factoring in incremental holding costs. H =80 x (30% x 200)= $ 4800. You have two approaches: Assume the fastest method (1 day) is your baseline and compare extra days to "1". OR assume baseline is "0" and compare each shipping alternative to "0".
