5 & 6 go together please help

& please explain what your comment "s" mean

what do you mean by "n" not giving me a complete thought to fully give details

ok how what is needed ? to have a complete question

5. Explain the cost of the private fleet at $3,145 per trip. Is it fixed or variable in nature and how does it impact your desired shipment size? 6. What will the total logistical cost be if the company uses the private fleet option? (Include the change in safety stock required/allowed with this option). 7. Which transportation mode alternative plan would you select, and why? TM #S PRIVATE FLEET COST ANALYSIS Since the truck cost is a per-order cost, it should be added to the ordering cost. This means that the cost is essentially a fixed cost per shipment Additionally, the cost to return is being covered by the backhaul. This cost is not considered in the forward haul.

However, we are told that it will take no longer than 3.5 days. Note that the total cost for the rail's safety stock is only $14,025, even with its large variability.
