A re$-$seller of mining machinery, located in Stratford, Ontario, calls a CIFFA Forwarder, inquiring about shipping a used Caterpillar Grader, to Vina del Mar, Chile. The overall dimensions of the Grader are $26$ ft x $8\mathrm{.}5$ ft x $7$ ft$,$ and it weighs $36,000$ lb$.$ As an astute forwarder, you ask the company to send you a schematic drawing of the Grader such that you can visualize the piece you have been asked to ship. Upon examining the drawing, you notice that the front bucket, which is removable, is $8\mathrm{.}5$ ft wide, $4$ ft high and $3$ ft deep. The remaining portion of the grader is only $6\mathrm{.}5$ ft wide and $7$ ft in height.

You have been able to determine the following:

a$.$ Trucking Grader from Stratford to the Port of NY$/$NJ CAD $$6,000\mathrm{.}00$ all in$.$

b$.$ Bucket removal & container packing at origin and re$-$assembly at destination CAD $$1,100$

c$.$ Container drayage Stratford from Toronto: CAD $$1,400\mathrm{.}00.$

d$.$ Break bulk ocean freight NY$/$NJ $$ Vina del Mar: US $$115\mathrm{.}00/$m$3$

e$.$ Terminal charges NY$/$NJ to be US $$6\mathrm{.}00/2,000$ lb$.$

f$.$ Ocean freight CY Toronto $$ CY Vina del Mar US $$3,500\mathrm{.}00/40-$ft Standard or High Cube.

Exchange rate: US $$1\mathrm{.}00=$ CAD $$1\mathrm{.}30$

$1.$ How much is the freight ton $($chargeable weight$)$ of this shipment in m$3$ considering this is going to be a break bulk shipment?
