LTL Rates

$$7\mathrm{.}25$ M$2$M lbs$.$

$$5\mathrm{.}75$ M$5$M lbs$.$

$$4\mathrm{.}00$ M$10$M lbs$.$

A$.$ What is the breakpoint between the $2$M and $5$M rate?

B$.$ What is the breakpoint between the $5$M and $10$M rate?

C$.$ How much would it cost $($in $$/$cwt$.)$ to ship $9000$ lbs$.?$

Question $2--$Use the following information to answer the question.

Customer Shipment wt$.$ LTL Rate$/$Min $($$$/$cwt$.)$

Customer A $8700$ lbs$.$ $$6\mathrm{.}65/10000$ lbs$.$

Customer B $5800$ lbs$.$ $$7\mathrm{.}40/5000$ lbs$.$

Customer C $2000$ lbs$.$ $$8\mathrm{.}50/2000$ lbs$.$

Customer D $9550$ lbs$.$ $$6\mathrm{.}25/10000$ lbs$.$

Total $26050$ lbs$.$

Line haul truckload rate from Origin to Dist. $$2\mathrm{.}70/$cwt$.$ @ $30,000$ lb$.$ min

Handling cost at Distributor $($no minimum wt$.)$ $$1\mathrm{.}00/$cwt$.$

Local Delivery Rate $($no minimum wt$.)$ $$2\mathrm{.}15/$cwt$.$

How much do you save by pooling vs$.$ shipping at the given LTL rates? Hint:

You do not need to worry about calculating breakpoints to answer this question
