For all problems, please assume the following structure of general cargo rates (GCR) in dollars per
kilo, except the M rate, which is a fixed dollar rate, for a particular O&D pair (origin & destination):
M N Q45 Q100 Q300 Q500 Q1000
404.003.002.502.252.102.00
Also, assume the following:
printed matter uses a commodity rate based on 50%(half) of the GCR
class rates for dangerous goods are 200%(double) of the GCR
class rates for valuable cargo are 300%(triple) of the GCR
For these exercises, round weights to a full kilo using normal mathematical rounding rules.
Calculate the correct weight charge for these shipments, report in dollars and cents:
1. A general cargo shipment with dimensions of 30x20x20 cm and an actual weight of 6 kg.
2. A general cargo shipment with dimensions: 30x20x15 and weight: 24 lbs.
3. A gen. cargo shipment with dims: 142x64x87 cm and weight: 129 kg.
4. A gen. cargo shipment with dims: 56x25x34 and weight 118 kg.
5. A gen. cargo shipment with dims: 235x80x156 cm and weight: 465 kg.
6. A shipment of magazines with dims: 60x40x40 cm and weight: 21 kg.
7. A shipment of currency (banknotes): 20x20x20,55 lbs.
8. A shipment of radioactive material classified as dangerous goods: 61x24x30,137 kg.
9. A shipment of organic peroxide (dangerous goods): 100x51x100 cm,83 kg.
10. A general cargo shipment: 230x100x253 cm,950 kg.
